With your ruler and pen, mark a point at one inch. You’ll be making two strips, one that’s 1′ x 5” and one that’s 1′ x 10′.

Cut your two strips

Tape the longer strip together to make a circle

Do the same with the shorter strip. You should have one large circle and one small circle

Tape the straw in the middle of the smaller circle. If your straw has a bendy section, like this one, tape over that section and then snip off the end of the straw

Tape the larger circle on the other side in the same way.
