How to make Swarovski's "Christmas decoration angel"

I am trying to make the "Christmas Decoration Angel" featured on Swarovski's "Create Your Style" Web site. The instructions require "13 pieces Handycraft straw, diameter 5 natural".  I cannot find this straw in any craft shop near me (St. Louis, Missouri, USA) or on any Web site.  Does anyone know where I can find this type of straw for weaving?  Thank you.

Craft Straw

I tried searching for it also...and cannot find any source.  I think this might be something that is more readily available in Europe. 

You might try a Christmas Tree farm ... one that has a lot of hay bales, or a Florist might have something similar that can be made flexible by soaking, or use a completely different material...perhaps plain plastic drinking straws, or ribbon that has been stiffened with starch or diluted white glue?  It won't have the same rustic, European look; however I am certain it will look lovely!

If anyone else finds a resource for these straws, please let us know!!!!

Sparkles and smiles,

Diane

I found a shop here in

I found a shop here in Germany (I don't know this shop personally), you can get those straws from Rayher, but I don't know the exact measures (they don't show it)

It is Strohhalm in German......They use it here to build christmas stars for the tree.

 

Greetings

Thanks so much, Sabine!

I found another source after looking at yours:

 

http://www.somethingcorny.co.uk/page14.html  It is in the UK. 

 

It really helped to have the German word!  Thanks again.

 

I'm also thinking that Rafia might work.  It wouldn't be as stiff, but maybe it could be stiffened after making the Angel, using diluted white glue?  Then the crystals could be attached after the glue dried.

 

Sparkles and smiles,  Diane

Craft Straws

Found this item online at acmoore.com, but not at michaels.com.

Hope you have AC Moore nearby. If not, I imagine Miahcels should have them too.
