How Do You Make Crafts Using A 1/8 Dowel Rod?
Dowel rods are versatile craft materials for making models, structures and many other projects. Wooden dowel rods are available in a range of sizes, beginning at 1/8 inch in diameter. These thin wooden rods may be painted, stained and combined with other lightweight craft materials to make projects such as a foam flower bouquet, a flag and a flagpole or holiday decorations. Look for 1/8 dowel rods at local craft and discount stores. Spray paint seven 1/8-inch dowel rods green. Let the paint dry. The dowel rods are the stems for the foam flowers; paint one dowel for each flower. Small dowels are often sold in 12-inch pre-cut lengths. If you have a longer dowel, cut it into 12-inch increments.

Place the foam flowers face down on a flat work surface. Add glue to the center of one flower. Press
