from drinking straw to drink coasters

Please try every effort to recycle all the plastic wastes, they may end up in the ocean if you don’t. It has come to our awareness that our oceans have been seriously polluted by plastic wastes, the lives of marine animals were threatened enormously. They are suffering from either becoming tangled up or eating it leading to suffocation and starvation. Remember the turtle that has a drinking straw stuck in its nostril? Ouch, it is heartbreaking to watch the team pulling it out. We have to do our part to prevent this from happening again.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Even though many countries have already banned, or, are in the process of banning single-use plastic straw in major outlets, however, this is not enough as there are still some parties not participating in the campaign, that’s where we are here to fill in the gap. You could go all the way out to collect drinking straws from cafes and restaurants, or, at least, collecting those you have used.  After you have collected a decent amount, make something useful from the drinking straws. In Craft Passion, we will be sharing a series of tutorials on how to make useful things out of the drinking straws. Begin the first tutorial {with videos}, we kick-off with the basic drinking straw weaving and make them into Drinking Straw Coasters. We have another few more similar tutorials of recycling drinking straws coming up soon, so please stay tuned.

coasters made from straw

In this tutorial, you will need 30 similar sizes of drinking straws to make one drink coaster. The sizes of the final drinking straw coasters are depending on the straw size you are using. I am using a 5/16″ (flattened dimension) drinking straws to produce a 3.5″ x 3.5″ drinking straw coasters. Other things you need in making this drinking straw coaster including a hot glue gun and sticks, thick cardboard to make templates, a pair of scissors, and, a pair of tweezer will come handy.

recycle drinking straws

I hope to see you joining the bandwagon of recycling drinking straws to save the Earth, save our future, and, save the vast lives living on it.

    i love this idea! Always looking for ways to recycle and make usable, modern, unique items. Not 70’s crafts (sorry 70’s!) Will try to make a set and if it works out, guess what my friends are getting for Christmas?
