I just introduced to you how to make artificial flowers with straws, let’s take a look at how to make shrimps with straws. Next time you go to KFC or McDonald’s, be sure to remember to take the straws home! The production method is a little complicated. Everyone must calm down and stay patient. Let’s take a look at the illustrated tutorial on how to turn straws into treasure by making DIY giant prawns~
1. Take a complete straw, which must have a bend, cut it from the end far away from the bend, and cut it into three strips of equal width.
2. Pass one of the strips as shown below and tighten it.
3. Wear the other side in the same way and tighten it in the same way.
4. Fold one of the two crossed pieces vertically upward.
5. The next steps are very critical, so be careful! Fold the upward fold forward to make a corner (45 degrees).
6. Take the twice-folded strip and pass it through the middle strip according to the method in step 2.
7. The same is true for the other side. After it is put on, the second body section of the shrimp is ready.
8. Make the third section of shrimp body according to the above method.
9. After the three-section body is made, leave three or four centimeters of the straw and cut off the excess.
10. Cut the wide strips on each side into four narrow strips to serve as shrimp legs.
11. Fold the cut shrimp legs as shown below.
12. Making the shrimp tail is much simpler. Cut it 1CM away from the elbow as shown below.
13. After cutting, press gently.
14. Shrimp chicksThe shape is basically formed, don't worry, there is still one last step. Cut two thin strips from both sides of the wide strip in the middle (as thin as possible without cutting) to serve as shrimp tentacles. Cut off the excess part in the middle (leaving about 1.5CM), and then cut it from the middle. .
15. A beautiful prawn is finished, it’s quite beautiful!
