Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Use your scissor to make angled cuts on a straw.
Tip
Make sure the straw is still intact and that you're not cutting all the way through the straw.
Step 2
Repeat step one two more times. Try spacing out the cuts to imitate the joints in your finger!
Step 3
Cut the string just a bit longer than the straw and thread it through the straw. Tape one end of the string to the end of the straw.
Final result!
On the other end, pull on the excess string and watch your straw finger curl! How many more fingers can you create? Challenge yourself by making a straw hand using cardboard - you might even be able to pick something up with your hand mechanism!
