Straws can be used to make many fun little crafts, such as woven baskets, decorative pendants, etc. The straw crafting I will introduce to you below is much more interesting, using straws to DIY chrysanthemum bouquets. Look at the final bonsai effect above. Although it is just a pot of artificial flowers, it has the same effect when used to decorate your home! Prepare straws, cotton swabs, double-sided tape and scissors, and lets try this interesting little project of turning waste into treasure.
1. Take a piece of straw, cut it with scissors, and cut it into the shape below. Be patient!
2. Apply double-sided tape to the uncut part of the straw.
3. Making chrysanthemum stamens is very simple. Take a medicinal cotton swab and color it; then wrap a straw with double-sided tape around the cotton swab.
4. Take a piece of green plastic or non-woven fabric, cut it into a torus shape, and stick it to the lower part of the flower. A slim little chrysanthemum is ready~
5. Make a lot of small flowers and put them into beautiful glass vases. The final effect is shown in the picture below.
