How Do I Make DIY Straw Beads?
- To make your straw beads, all you have to do is cut your straw into little half inch sections.
- The best part about this project is, the size of your straw beads can vary because you decide how long to make the beads!
- You can make your beads all one color with just a straw or two, or you can go all out and make them lots of colors. I really like the way they make her straw beads shiny here.
- In order to string your beads, just add a bit of tape to the end of the yarn so it doesn’t fray as you play with it.
