I use a little craft saw blade. I have heard that little fiskar shears work well, but have not tried it myself.

What would you recommend using to cut the popsicle sticks?
I tried scissors and I also tried a box cutter, but neither of them seemed to be effective. If there is something you used that worked, what is is?

Soo cool!!,
I’m trying to figure out a way to make one strong enough for a model train that is HO gage, i would like it to be wide enough for to tracks. Thank you very much for the inspiration!

Good question. I had hard time knowing how to attach the strings. On the bridge itself I simply fed the cord through the deck popsicle sticks in the center of the span. On top of the towers the cords are not attached at all, but just slide through grooves that hold them from sliding off. To anchor the cords down on the ends of the bridge I used lots of weights from wood and cement blocks.
