Back in the 60’s ,I found instructions for making a giant ball/star out of drinking straws. All I cn remember is that the center was constructed of half straws tied together into triangles and then assembled into a ball. Then three full size straws in the form of a teepee werec attached to each triangle in the base. 'forming points. I have tried to construct this from memory but I just can’t seem to get it together. Any ideas?

Is THIS what you are looking for?
that is so close especially the last item. That looks like the base and if I add full length triangles to each base triangle it should work.:sun:
My daughter still had hers in her room from 7th grade… it was labled! 
Google is a great thing. LOL
