Make Hearts from Plastic Straws

Anyone at all can make cute little hearts from plastic straws. Sprinkle them in a gift box or clip them onto the edge of a letter or a card. All you need are the straws, a pair of scissors, and the know-how to pull off this creative project!

Steps

  1. Cut a little section (about an inch) off the straw.
  2. Press the section and make it flat.
  3. Cut it as shown in the picture.
  4. Add another little slit if you want to be able to clip the heart onto paper.
  5. Open the heart. In the picture, you can see the slit at the bottom of the heart.
  6. If you made the slit, clip the heart onto the edge of any paper or cardstock like you would a paper clip.


Tips

  • Different size straws will yield different size hearts!
  • You can also use these as bookmarks.
