A pipe cleaner is a type of brush originally intended for cleaning smoking pipes, and is useful for cleaning many other things besides pipes. A typical pipe cleaner is made of two or three lengths of wire about 6 to 12 inches long, twisted together with bristles of some absorbent material, usually cotton. Sometimes bristles of stiffer material are added to better scrub out what is being cleaned. Unlike many other brushes, a pipe cleaner has no handle.
Children are quite fond of bending pipe cleaners into various shapes and for this reason, one may find pipe cleaners (sometimes marketed as "chenille stems") at craft stores. However, these are usually made with nylon bristles or some other non-absorbent material and are frequently longer, thicker, and available in many different colors. Pipe-cleaners with non-absorbent bristles are not very useful for cleaning purposes.

Pipe cleaners are also referred to as chenille stems. The usual length of these fuzzy creations is 12 inches.
Both materials are available in a variety of colors from specialized retail and wholesale outlets, as well as on-line. (See Bar Warehouse and Discount Art Supplies respectively.) Ideally the straw and pipe cleaner color for any model should match.
The tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, cube, and dodecahedron will require 6, 12, 30, 12, and 30 straws respectively. Use the selected straw length for the tetrahedron, octahedron, and cube. Cut the straws in half for the icosahedron and dodecahedron. The pipe cleaners should be cut into sections the same length as the straws. Twice as many sections of pipe cleaner as individual straws will be required for each model.
