Directions for a DIY Geometric Centerpiece

Using your wire (generous amount) and straws, make a single triangle.
Tie a knot to secure the triangle.
Add straws then take your wire to go up the next triangle.
Tie a knot to secure the existing triangle to make another.
Repeat this until you have 5 triangles in a row.

Begin to bring the end of two opposite together and then you will find where the missing triangle is and that will be your final straw.

Add the final straw to your centerpiece and tie the wire to secure it.
On each connected straw, add a dab of hot glue to smooth out the edges. This will make sure there are no gaps between straws and helps the piece come together.
Let dry.
