Pom-Poms made from Construction Straws

1   Cut a long piece of waxed cotton cord and gather approx. 40 construction straws into a bundle. Wind the cotton cord twice around the bundle and tie loosely.

2   Then tighten the cords and tie 2-3 very tight knots. This will make the straws spread.

3   Cut off one of the cords and squeeze the straws into shape, so that they resemble a pom-pom shape.
