container (can, bottle, jar etcetera) which can be made clean and odorless

usually have this - buy 1/4 inch sheets and cut the sticks you need. Can be
expensive...)

or picture framing shops; expensive but good)
- Maskingtape aka gummied
paper (buy it at a car repair shop - that is the cheapest source I have found)

of PVA glue I have found is an art and hobby shop - go for a large container,
you will need it)

it at a … car repair shop! Expensive, but you will usually not need that
much)
- Paint, brushes
