Step 6 . Finishing off

To finish off the weave tuck the paper tube under a previous straw instead of weaving on the top. 

You can tuck each length if required or use a drop of glue to secure the ends.

Once you have mastered working with five strands of paper using a neck, why not try weaving without the neck or increasing the number of straws using 6,7 or 9 straws.

Step 4. Joining

Gently score down the centre of the tube with your finger nail.

Pinch the tube to make a small fold over the crease.

Thread a new paper tube over the pipe cleaner.

Push the new paper tube over the creased and folded tube.

Continue pushing the new paper tube over the later until you have made a secure invisible join.
