What types of straws it’s possible for you to use in crafts?

3D Cactus Craft for Kids

Plastic Drinking StrawsFirst, I would use up any plastic straws you may already own.

Upcycling them to crafts is much better than throwing them away.

However, kid crafts using plastic straws may eventually be tossed to make room for new crafts.

Plastic Cocktail Stirrer StrawsThinner and smaller than drinking straws, cocktail stirrers are also a good option for crafts.
