Step 1This is the template I used.
-
Step 2Take a Styrofoam,X-acto knife and a marker.
-
Step 3Cut the Styrofoam into rectangular pieces.
-
Step 4Take a cork sheet line out how long and width you want your sticks to be. Then cut them out using a box cutter.Split the sticks in 2 sections. I have 13 sticks I’m splitting them in 5 and 8. You can also use bigger ratio if you wish.
-
Step 5Pick a section to color. I’m picking the small section:
o First color the sticks both ends blue (Sugar)
o Then in the middle Half yellow (Adenine)
o Then the other half Green (Thymine)
Color the rest like tha
-
Step 6Now take the large section,
o Color both end blue (like before)
o Half of the middle Red (Cytosine)
o Other half Orange/Brown (Guanine)
Leave them out to dry.
-
Step 7I have done coloring the pieces.
-
Step 8Thread a thick thread to a needle as long as your sticks are when you keep them aligned
Now find a place to hang the thread, hang it keep the needle hanging from the bottom. -
Step 9I’m going to name the two sections to make it easy Small section is “A”, large section is “B”.
Take a piece of A get it through the thread then take a piece of B get it through the thread glue it to the previous stick but not straight, make it a little curved as if you’re almost making an “X”(These curves helps to get the spiral shape. Now thread another B glue it the previous B and keep it curved. I’ve added a picture to understand what comes after what.
I hope you enjoy making this.
