Slurp slurp with a straw
With the Straw Shuru-Shuru, the straw wriggles like a living creature when you blow on it! It’s easy to make—just cut the straw into a spiral.
Because you’ll be cutting at a diagonal, it’s best for preschoolers who are comfortable using scissors (older preschool to kindergarten age).
Adding a fringe or a little figure to the tip of the straw changes the way it moves and makes it even more fun!
candle stand
Let’s try making a candle stand using straws.
That said, since straws will melt if they touch the flame, the idea is to use a glass jar for the main body of the candle stand and decorate the outside with straws! Once you find a jar that could work as a candle stand, cut the straws to match the height of the jar and stick them around it.
The candlelight will shine through the straws, creating a magical atmosphere.
If possible, use colored, semi-transparent straws for this idea, and decorating with multiple colors will result in an even more beautiful candle stand!
resin keychain charm
You can make cylindrical key charms using resin, which is super useful for DIY crafts! Pack a straw full of sparkly bits and cute beads to create your very own key charm.
If you make it well, it might just become a favorite little treasure of yours.
heart
Let me introduce a heart made with straws.
You’ll use two straws and finish it by weaving them together.
To make it easier to weave, flatten the straws first.
Since it’s easy to lose track of the weaving at the beginning, using straws in different colors is recommended.
The finished heart looks cute and three-dimensional when combined with an illustration as an accent on a card! Because it involves detailed handiwork, it also helps develop concentration.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced some simple yet impressive crafts using everyday straws.
These ideas are fun for everyone from kids to adults, so try adding decorative touches or your own original twists to create something uniquely yours.
Each project is packed with handy tips, so use them as inspiration to make something wonderful.
