How to fold a straw heart (and frog!)

[qitae]

I tried it with ribbon it looked lovely but a bit more fiddly!

[daporcupine]

@qitae Must have took some deft finger work! I can image it would look lovely

[JessicaAnnMarieX0o]

Fantabulous! absolutely love it!<3

[daporcupine]

@JessicaAnnMarieX0o =)

[CherryBlossomMay26]

PHEWWWW.... YAHOOO!!!! IM DONE IM DONE, EVERYBODY! CHECK OUT MY HEART!!!!

*Thumpity Thump Thump Thumpity Thump (thats the heart)*

Thanks a lot!

[daporcupine]

@CherryBlossomMay26 XD You're welcome!

[1230nice]

i like bendy straws

[daporcupine]

@1230nice Yeah, curly straws are nice too!

[Acosta380]

I like how he says tree instead of three

[daporcupine]

@Acosta380 I know right... turn on auto-transcribe for more fun XD Meanwhile, I'll need to keep working on my enunciation!

[summermomo123cute]

What about frog??

[daporcupine]

@summermomo123cute The 'frog' is simply a heart without cutting away the straw endings. It takes some imagination though =P

[direct777direct]

veryyy good:) i like this video:) look so complicated but the labelling of the no.on straws made it so clear and simple!:) THANKS^^

[daporcupine]

@direct777direct You're welcome. I made this video hoping others would have a simpler time learning it than I did. Happy Heart making =)

[MrsLaughx3]

Damn hard

[daporcupine]

@MrsLaughx3 Try it a few times and I'm sure you'll get it!

[TYPICALTRICIA]

SINGAPOREAN?! :D

[daporcupine]

@TYPICALTRICIA Yup. But I'm a citizen of the World Web Wide too, so it's a video for everyone! =)

[TYPICALTRICIA]

@daporcupine YAY! ME TOO! :D HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI­! LOL!

[AmirahThejoker]

This really helped me alot! Thanks :D

[daporcupine]

@AmirahThejoker You're welcome =D

[sheepcabbage]

Having trouble with cutting the straws T^T

[daporcupine]

@sheepcabbage that's the easiest part =.=' Careful with the scissors though ^^

[TheLaisama]

NEED BIGGER STRAWWS

[daporcupine]

@TheLaisama Be my guest =)

[desireeluve]

thanks ^^

[daporcupine]

@desireeluve No problem =D

[iLUFFFu]

Thank you!!! This was a REALLY helpful tutorial!!!!! ^^

[daporcupine]

@iLUFFFu I'm glad you liked it! =)

[hhmm89]

very nice

[daporcupine]

@hhmm89 Thanks =D

[liyanx3]

Thanks so much! Did you use regular straws? Also, do you think it will work with ribbons as well?

[daporcupine]

@liyanx3 Yup, they're regular straws. I've just tried it with strips of paper which has led me to believe it should work with ribbons too. Let me know how it goes =)

[TheGoldenLlama88]

I did it!! Yay! Lol

[daporcupine]

@TheGoldenLlama88 Yay! My army of straw frogs and I congratulate you! XD

[BL914]

Thanks lots and lots:D

[daporcupine]

@BL914 You're welcome =D

[ShawolChoiMinHoKey]

very helpful !! awesome !

[daporcupine]

@ShawolChoiMinHoKey Thanks =P

[origamifreak2]

that frog SUCKS first of all. but a pretty nice heart

[daporcupine]

@origamifreak2 I cordially disagree, straw frogs are awesome! How many inanimate animal-like objects leap into the air when you pet them? The straw frog endears us to spent each moment with positivity and gusto. An obstacle is in the way? No worries, hop right over it. It is a symbolism of progress and liberty of the individual and of us as a collective humanity. I hoped I have helped you see the humble straw frog in a different light, but, of course, you are entitled to your own opinion! XD

[origamifreak2]

@daporcupine a little gospel don't ya think? i don't understand half the words you said and i still think it is really stupid. sorry i'm just giving my opinion.

[daporcupine]

@origamifreak2 It's perfectly fine that your think it's stupid. I expect no less of a critique from a connoisseur of handicrafts as yourself. I'm just having a lot of fun dramatizing my obsession with the straw frog =P

[2000kpop]

@TheCatlover90 you're most welcome =D

[EmoGirlIshHawt]

how come another video got only 1,599 watches and this got 66,500+?

[daporcupine]

@EmoGirlIshHawt cos straw heart rocks ! ^^

[daporcupine]

@BlooberbotStudio Hmm... seems possible, but the heart might lose its consistency due to the bendy portion of the straw. Go try it and post a reply, I wanna see it! =P

[KenshinForever]

yay! thank you :D

i made mine with straws from burger king XD

[daporcupine]

@KenshinForever ^^

[imsusyn]

This is great. Thank you for clearly marking the ends of the straws. That helped so much.

[daporcupine]

@imsusyn I decided to make this video after finding it hard to follow another straw hearts how too video, so I'm glad it has helped you! =D

[2dmcconnon]

The easier way to remember the steps is that you start over three and finish under three. A great video, and I loved it.

[daporcupine]

@2dmcconnon great tip! =)

[daporcupine]

@VietDr3amz Sure, no problem ^^

[carcar0625]

IM SUCH A FAIL FAIL FAIL!

[daporcupine]

@carcar0625 It helps to label the straws with the numbers before starting, I'm sure you'll get it in due time!

[AngelHEARTZShunsuke]

Omg! Great video!! I've been looking for straw heart making tutorials! 5/5! Thanks!:)

[daporcupine]

@AngelHEARTZShunsuke You're welcome! =D

[lorddrag140]

XD makes my fingers hurt.i can do it,it just kinda hurts my fingers.

[daporcupine]

@lorddrag140 Go easy on those straws, don't wanna hurt your fingers =P

[ThistleMouse1]

Thanks for the great video - instructions and numbers made it very easy to follow and I managed to create one on my first try!! :)

[daporcupine]

@ThistleMouse1 Sweet! =)

[errastar]

gr8!!! so easy to understand!!! :D

[daporcupine]

@errastar The elegant underlying weaving pattern makes it easier than it seems. I should do a dissertation on this =P

[theavengerseries]

This video was easy to follow. good idea to number them 1 2 3 4, made it super easy!

[daporcupine]

@theavengerseries Glad it was of benefit =D

[sow06377]

Very understandable

[daporcupine]

@sow06377 Thanks =)

[kriskerten]

can also use the bendable straw

[daporcupine]

@kriskerten Interesting proposition. I'll activate my R&D arm to begin development of a prototype immediately! Maybe even use grass / palm leaves for a more organic feel!

[hert0gjan]

thanks dude, since i watch this video i got laid 3 nights in a row

[daporcupine]

@hert0gjan Imagine what would watching this video on repeat for 1 whole day do for you

[hert0gjan]

@daporcupine a blood orgy?

[gigitivinis27]

you have to go slower

[daporcupine]

@gigitivinis27 Might make it too draggy though, gd thing is you can replay it cause it's a vid ^^

[daporcupine]

@gigitivinis27 Might make it too draggy though, gd thing is you can replay it cause it's a vid ^^

[Siti307]

im stuck at 1 putting it in the middle D:

[daporcupine]

@Siti307 no worries about that, if you're folding a heart, any uneven end will be snipped off, if you're folding a frog, you're got yourself a unique frog {oh, and Hayley's mine btw, at least (her voice) in my ipod =D}

[clairesngtyan]

Woohoo done

[daporcupine]

@clairesngtyan Oh yeah

[daporcupine]

@clairesngtyan Oh yeah
