Thicker than a regular pipe cleaner, this assortment of chenille Crazy Stems are ultra-fluffy to give craft projects lush appeal. These super-sized stems measure approximately 20 inches long by approximately 3/4 inch wide and are fun to work with because they're easy to bend and twist. Use this pack of neon colored stems to create your own fluffy friend, or pick a critter from the project guide that's included with our Crazy Stems. The project book includes project instructions and supply lists for 5 different critter projects. Choose between a puppy, a lion, and more! 8 pieces per packageGeneral Information:
Someone once described a pipe cleaner as a "hairy wire". While it isn't actually hair, it is a fairly good description.
Quite versatile, a chenille stem can be bent or cut. There are so many craft projects on the internet to make with them.
Here are some ideas to use chenille sticks:
- Use as stiffeners inside craft projects such as stuffed animals, face masks and felt crafts.
- Pipe cleaners are the perfect kids' craft staple!
- Twist chenille sticks around the end of a pencil or pen for a cute writing companion.
- Wrap chenille stems around the upper section of a wire coat hanger to prevent clothes from falling off of your hanger.
- Slip beads onto them for Christmas ornaments, tree hangers, and even to create antenna for the cutest chenille stem bugs.
- Use pipe cleaners around the edge of a picture or drawing for a wonderful scrapbook frame.
- Fashion flowers, stars, animals or toys with pipe cleaners for a 3-D look.
- Form ears, hands and feet with them to create a cute critter using a water or soda bottle for it's body.
- Wrap a green chenille stem around a pencil to create a spiral. Add red pony beads to the spiral and then bring the 2 ends of the chenille stick together and twist together for a nice wreath.
- Spiral yellow and black pipe cleaners together to form a cute bee's body. Use small sections of white to form it' wings.
- Use them as a tool to clean out tiny spaces.
- There are so many things that can be done with them!
We went on pinterest and found literally thousands of uses for them. Everything from using them as tools to holiday decorations, to helpful things to kids crafts, and everything in between.
