Step 1:
Place a straw on a colored sheet and cut a strip about 5 inches wide along the length of your straw.

Repeat the operation to obtain 3 bands of a different color.

Step 3:
Apply glue on each of the colored bands.

Step 4:
Fold each of the 3 strips to cover each of the straws.
/
Step 5:
Cut each strip into pieces to get the different pieces of your Aztec necklace.
/
Step 6:
Give each piece a particular shape reminiscent of Aztec patterns: triangular, pointed, fringed… You too can imagine other patterns.
/
Step 7:
Cut a yarn a little longer than your neckband.
Thread each piece of your necklace by passing the woolen thread through the ends of the straw. Consider alternating colors and patterns.
