Pipe Cleaners - Assorted Colours - 25 Pack 30cm x 9mm

These pipe cleaners consist of a bendable wire core covered with soft, fuzzy nylon fibers. The wire provides structure, while the nylon offers texture and color.

The pipe cleaners have a thickness of 9 mm.

Each pipe cleaner is 30 cm (approximately 12 inches) in length.

Yes, you can cut the pipe cleaners to your desired length using sharp scissors or craft cutters.

Yes, they are generally safe for children's crafts due to their soft texture and ease of use. Adult supervision is recommended for very young children to ensure they do not ingest any materials.

While they are weather-resistant to some extent, prolonged exposure to moisture and harsh elements may cause the wire to rust or the fibers to degrade. They are best suited for indoor or temporary outdoor use.

You can twist the ends of pipe cleaners together, insert them into materials like foam or clay, or use craft glue (such as hot glue or liquid craft glue) to attach them to surfaces.

Ensure you are bending the pipe cleaner firmly at the desired point. For complex shapes, multiple bends or twists may be needed to reinforce the structure. If the wire seems compromised, try using a new pipe cleaner.

Overlap the ends of the pipe cleaners and twist them tightly. If they continue to slip, a small dab of craft glue can provide extra security.

Gently twist the pipe cleaner to re-compact the fibers. Minor fraying can be trimmed with scissors. Avoid overly aggressive manipulation.

Ensure the pipe cleaners are stored away from direct sunlight. If colors are consistently dull, it might indicate a batch variation; consider ordering from a different lot if possible.
