How to do it

1 Soak the straw for min. 4 hours. Then cut 121 short pieces of straw each measuring 5 cm and 66 long pieces of straw each measuring 10 cm. Make a square from brass wire and 4 short pieces of straw. Twist the brass wire ends to secure the square. Handle the straw with care to prevent it from splitting.

2 Make a triangle from brass wire and two short pieces of straw diagonally from two opposite corners of the square. Feed the brass wire through one of the pieces of straw in the square.

3 Make another triangle from two short pieces of straw diagonally from the other two opposite corners of the square, making a pyramid shape. Twist the brass wire around the top of the pyramid after attaching the first piece of straw as shown in the photo.

7 Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 with short pieces of straw. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with long pieces of straw.
