Beads From Straws

This instructable will teach you how to transform drinking straws into beads that can be used for any project.

Pretty simple: you just need the straws themselves, scissors to cut the straws, and also a long thin tool (a pen works fine)

you can cut them to many different lengths, but I chose to cut them into one inch segments

this is when you may need to use a pen to assist you

Fold in part of each edge to create a triangle shape

you could strategically place the triangles to create a diamond, a trapezoid, or a three dimensional shape

be creative! i tried to make a bracelet
