Lots of soap bubbles with DIY
https://www.tiktok.com/@sachimama_asobi/video/7268883132554808578Let’s have fun making soap bubbles using short-cut straws! First, cut a long strip of double-sided tape and line up the straws, sticking them onto it.
Apply double-sided tape to the other side as well, then roll the straws up tightly from the edge into a spiral and secure it.
Glue on a ring cut from a plastic bottle to serve as a frame, and attach a stick as a handle to finish.
Dip it in bubble solution and blow.
Bubbles will come out from each straw, creating a beautiful effect, and lots come out at once, so even small children can enjoy it.

Shuwa-shuwa Honey Lemon 350ml – Sharou
Many girls probably love wands, don’t they? You often see them in anime with magical-girl themes.
This time, I’ll introduce an idea for making a simple wand.
Thread ten 2 cm pieces of straw and five beads alternately onto a 30 cm chenille stem (pipe cleaner), then shape it into a star.
Twist the two ends of the stem together to secure it, trim any excess, then take a 15 cm chenille stem folded in half, hook it onto the star, and twist it into a single rod.
Slide on a straw and glue it in place to finish.
It might also look cute decorated with washi tape, etc.

A log house made of paper straws
Let’s make your very own special treasure chest! Here’s an idea for a paper-straw log house.
Do you have treasured items like precious memories or pretty stones? This time, let’s use paper straws to create a treasure box that looks like a log house.
What you’ll need: paper straws, glue, a pen, scissors, and a ruler.
You can use white or colorful straws, but using kraft straws will give it a warm, log-house feel.
omikuji (a Japanese fortune slip typically drawn at Shinto shrines or Buddhist temples)
Here’s a perfect straw craft for the New Year season! Using a tube-shaped empty box and some straws, let’s make a shake-and-reveal “omikuji” fortune teller.
You can have fun customizing the box design and the fortunes like “Great Blessing” or “Good Luck.” It could also be fun to stuff small slips with the fortune results inside the straws!
Perler beads
If you’re doing straw crafts at home, ironing beads (perler-style) are recommended.
Just line up the straws, sandwich them with kitchen paper, and press with an iron—that’s it! It’s also fun to try different shapes by combining straws of various thicknesses and colors.
Be sure an adult supervises and helps.
Straw Maze
It’s a great idea to treat straws like walls and create a “maze.” Because straws are easy to shape, kids can make a maze just the way they imagine, which is really fun.
Use an empty box as the base and create your own straw maze.
I’m sure it will make a delightful toy!
Nameplate
A cute name tag—this one is made from straws.
Use a wider straw in clear and your favorite color, plus a thinner straw.
Cut a single slit in the clear straw.
Cut origami paper to the size of the straw, then write a name, stamp it, or decorate it with stickers.
Roll up the origami and insert it inside the straw, then insert the colored straw and the thin straw in that order.
Thread a strap cord through the thin straw, decorate with beads, and tie the cord to your preferred length to finish.
It’s so easy you’ll want to make lots—for your friends, too!
