Ice-cream sticks turned into vivid art

Ice-cream sticks can be fun to play with after eating the delicious treat. Instead of throwing away your sticks after the ice cream or other frozen treats, you can use them again. Zhang Xiaocheng, 71, from Hebei province, has turned chopsticks and ice-cream sticks into more than 60 pieces of miniature landscape artwork. In the past two decades, Zhang and his wife have collected about 40 kilograms of sticks to replicate local traditional buildings.
