In the video, a person is seen using a glue gun to apply glue to a piece of cardboard. They then proceed to attach popsicle sticks to the cardboard, creating a pattern. The person continues to add more popsicle sticks, carefully placing them in a specific order to form a design. The video shows the progression of the project, with the person adding layers of popsicle sticks to create a three-dimensional effect. The final product is a decorative piece made entirely of popsicle sticks and cardboard.
