It’s a real sensory experience with colour, sight and touch. Enjoy.

As you cut the straws add it to the plastic bin to layer the colours!

I layered the colours to try and look like a rainbow to give it a bright and bold effect.

Tie a knot one on end of the ribbons.

Depending upon the width of your ribbon you may want to add several knots so that the straws will not slip off.
