You can make necklaces using colorful straws! Cut the straws into short pieces and string them together with twine.

You can connect them into a chain or arrange them into a three-dimensional pendant top—there are lots of ways to enjoy this.

The more colors you have, like red, light blue, yellow, and green, the more vibrant the result will be.

water gun

Let's make a water gun with a plastic bottle

This is a squeeze-to-squirt water gun made by combining a plastic bottle and a straw.

It’s a simple craft where you just poke a hole in the bottle cap and insert the straw.

To make the water shoot properly, it’s also important to prevent air from leaking, so pay close attention to the size of the hole in the cap.

Because the process is simple, the appearance is simple too, so it’s recommended to decorate it with items like vinyl tape for a more festive look.

Try to be mindful of both a more attractive appearance and materials that help the water shoot effectively.

Butterfly straw decoration

Butterfly straw decoration ☺️ #shorts #craft #origami #origami #DIY

Let’s make a butterfly decoration for a straw.

Stack two quarter-size sheets of origami paper and fold them in half, then use scissors to cut out a butterfly shape.

Next, make two small slits along the folded edge, and thread the straw through the space between the two slits—done! You now have a fluttering butterfly straw decoration.

It’s a very simple process, but just adding this to a straw makes it cute and gives it a special feel.

Try using it when you’re serving drinks, like when friends come over.
