Straw crafts involve creating decorative or functional items using dried stalks of grain, such as wheat or rye. Artisans weave, braid, or twist the straw to form various objects, including baskets, ornaments, and even intricate sculptures. This traditional craft has been practiced in many cultures around the world, often passed down through generations. The process of making straw crafts typically begins with preparing the straw by soaking it in water to make it pliable. Once softened, the straw can be shaped and secured with threads or glue. Straw crafts are not only a creative outlet but also a sustainable way to utilize agricultural byproducts.
