If you're good with your hands, you can make a cube out of one ball of clay,
or a cubical frame out of one straw cut into 12 equal pieces.
Ohhhh wait ! Now I see what you're driving at. Maybe the little clay balls are
what you use at the corners to stick the pieces of straw together. OK.
You still need 12 pieces of straw all the same length, and then you need eight
balls of clay to stick the corners together and make a cube.
I apologize for giving you the answer. Now you'll never think it through on your own,
and you'll never understand why that's the answer.

12 straws
6 straws are needed
<X X> It should look kinda like the example above. Except it would be squares lol. Make two crosses with the 4 long straws put the ends of these together so that one square is made then make two right angles with the four short straws and place them at the other side of each cross to make three squares in a diagonal line. :)
8 straws 4 for the square base 4 for 1 each of the sides, to meet at the top.

I need 100 straws.
12 straws
Fact: a polygonal pyramid has a polygon for a base. Fact: A polygon with n sides (straws) has n vertices (balls of clay). Fact: A pyramid has one vertex (clay) at the top. Fact: Each vertex of the base has a side (straw) that connects it to the top vertex (clay). Question: How many sides does a hexagon have? (base straws) Question: How many vertices does a hexagon have? (base clay) Question: How many vertices are there all together, including the top one? (clay) Question: How many sides connect the base to the top vertex? (side straws) Question: How many sides (straws) are there all together? (straws)
You would need 12 straws of equal sizes because a cube has 12 equal edges, 8 vertices and 6 faces
This may not be the best way but it sure does work here's how. Take four straws and make a square. Repeat this four more times. After you are done make a cube out of them. Place the egg in. Take the tape and use it to fill in the gaps in the cube.
well does it have to work? or can it just be for visual use only? clay, tubes, straws,
how to make a table with straws
yes straws do make you fart

Make them a loose dress and stuff it with cotton balls or make the a fake clay stomach.
