<\/p><\/div>"} 2 Cut one of the straws. Cut one of the bendy straws right before the bendy part, so that the straw is no longer a bendy straw. Cut it at an angle so that it comes to a point.

<\/p><\/div>"} 3 Insert the cut straw into the other straw. Stick the sharp end of the straw you just cut into the end of the other straw. It should go into the end that's closest to the bend. Fit it in far enough so that it doesn't slip out.
