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.
