Pipe Cleaner Paper Cup Toy

Make a new toy for your pet out of pipe cleaners and paper cups! Poke a hole in the bottom of a paper cup and several more holes along the sides. Twist pipe cleaners end to end and tape the end of the pipe cleaner rope inside the bottom of the cup. Feed several more pipe cleaners through each of the holes around the cup, cut a plastic drinking straw into small tubes, feed the straw beads onto the pipe cleaners and twist the pipe cleaners into fun shapes. Decorate the paper cup with markers or ribbon and consider fringing the edge of the cup with scissors. Use the toy as a cat wand or hang the homemade toy in your bird or rodent cage.
