Using Filani Liquid for creating bendable feature

Filling liquid clay into straw

Allow the liquid to overflow through the tiny hole on the clay stopper

Secured the wire armature on one end of the screw

Secured both ends

Tighten one end of the wire armature with a plier

Creating more bendable liquid gel on the board

Board ready to bake

Baking the straw filled with liquid at 150º C for 30 minutes

Baked liquid filled straws

Cut the straw with a knife or blade

Cut all the straws

Removed straw from the board

Baked Filani liquid will be bendable

Creating a loop
