It’s the plastic pieces that are expensive. <a href="https://accucut.com/">https://accucut.com/</a> Does have dies that you can use to make connectors. But trust me you have better things to then sourcing the plastic and then cutting the Strawbees to. Connect straws. Buy the strawbees. You should be able to find refill kits. Straws can be found in bulk at Sam’s club, Costco or be GFS (Gordon Food Stores). <div><br><div><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 12, 2021, at 12:53 PM, Sarah R via AISLE <aisle@list.railslibraries.info> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">My family had fun playing with <a href="https://www.make.do/">MakeDo</a> Cardboard connectors this summer!
