FIRE STRAWS

Most of us visit fast food restaurants far more often than we should. Next time you finish gulping down your burger and fries, don’t throw away the straw from your soda or shake. While you could just buy a box of plastic straws at the store, I’ve found that the ones you get at most fast food joints tend to be a bit larger, which makes this project a little easier. Fire straws, when assembled properly, are 100 percent waterproof.

MATERIALS

Scissors

Plastic drinking straws

Ignition device and candle

Pliers

Dryer lint or cotton balls

Petroleum jelly

Small plastic sandwich bag

Toothpicks

Match, butane lighter, or spark

#1With a pair of scissors, cut the straws into halves or thirds. The length is a matter of personal preference. I like them short enough to fit into an Altoids tin. Next, light the candle and hold one end of each cut straw 1 to 2 inches from the flame. When the straw begins to soften, crimp it closed with the pliers.
