Hi! Crafters!
The next two blog will be using straws. The one reason I choose this item is when you
go to a fast food place you always grab more straws then you need because
something always happen to the straws. Either you lose a straw or they get wet
or something else. I do not know if you
have a lot of straws, spoons, or utensil in one shelf of your cabinet. When the kids were young we had so many
spoons, I dipped the spoons in chocolate and wrap then in plastic and gave them
out as treats for Christmas. This is when you did not have so many
restrictions.

Cut the straws into 1 1/2" pieces.

disposable surface.
Dip the end of each straw into the glue and insert straight
into the ball, about 1/8" deep. Cover the ball evenly with straws spaced
about 1/2" apart. Let dry.
If necessary, trim straws, cutting off ends that protrude
