Any ideas?
Answers:
Go get a notebook and paint brush-use a paper cup and water down your glue (some) so its about 2/3 glue to 1/3 water. Use it as a collage adhesive and cover your notebook for school or for photos with fabric (the tee material would soak it up well-coat notebook-open,face down-put on cut tee material-uyou can wrap the rest around later,then coat again so it soaks through-it will also seal it) You could do the same as lamp shade as suggested. My daughter is a collage freak with fashion mags-she made an awesome 30x30 inch collage on a stretched canvas (you could use foam core) and I must admit-those Hollister guys aren't half bad. You could glue the sticks around an empty can and paint it black. Wrap it with your ribbon glued on-to put your colored pencils in! Use your crazy sissors for collage work.
you could try a random abstract painting...
You can make a lampshade using the glue, rubber stamps, paint, markers and colored pencils on the popsicle sticks. Glue the sticks together on the sides (use a little tape to hold them while they dry) and then use the art supplies to decorate them. Make a bow with the ribbon.
You can also make yourself a memory box to put special photos, ticket stubs, and memoriablia. Glue the sticks to a box and a lid (shoe boxes work well for this) and use your art supplies to decorate it.
Don't know if either your punch or decorative edged scissors can go through wood, but you could use them to cut the fabric to make a pretty emblem out of the scrap fabric to glue on either project.
Hum... Can you design a mobile to hang from the ceiling?
With the popsicle sticks you can make some butt kicking boxes and lamp shades! You need to google instructions. But all you need is white glue
picture frames would probably be the ideal way to make use of all the items you have and you can decorate the frames all differently or all alike. Then any artwork, photos, even cool pics out of magazines that you think represent you, can be put in them and hung or placed wherever you want to add a little color or even just to give the room some flare. and puzzles that are missing pieces are awesome for making frames too. just glue the pieces randomly around the edges, never connecting them, and put a picture inside.
with that much stuff, you could probably build a nuclear reactor!
