Description I didn't see any detailed tutorials on how to make one, so I made one

Another tutorial on Devaintart has drawn photos but if it helps: [link]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have any problems with making one, comment or message me.

If you would like to criticize me, then if you have nothing nice to say, why not put duck tape over your mouth, see if I care.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I apologize for the crappy photos, I tried all kinds of cameras that I own, and this was the best I could do. As for the tutorial itself, if it sucks... its because I don't write tutorials often..

I tried it, but it was really messed up.  I struggled, and my fingers hurt.  The straws were hard to fold.

Really cool TT nicely done. Hope it works. Is it more difficult to use wallmart straws instead of Japanses/Koriean straws?

ppun In reply to kaminaridesu [2010-07-03 17:06:22 +0000 UTC]

sure xD
just use the extra long ones if it doesn't work, cause mcdonald straws are pretty thick, try folding them in half.

sorry for the long reply ><

TaylorQueer [2009-06-28 04:06:45 +0000 UTC]

you camera does not sucks.
Just look the buttons!
You'll find a little flower somewhere,
press the button with the flower,
[like a tullip] and then take your photo!
And you have it!

That flower is to take very close photos
without loosing the quality.

good luck, and thanks for the tut!
