Straw mobile

Straw mobiles are geometric structures, with the main diamond pattern thought to be reminiscent of the shape of the fields that farmers used.

[5] In addition to increased popularity in their traditional form, straw mobiles have also experienced modern twists within the craft and décor community.

[10][11][12] Straw mobiles made out of metal tubes are sold as year-round décor as opposed to solely a Christmastime fixture.

While Straw mobiles can be extremely intricate and complex, smaller versions are relatively easy to make, resulting in many websites creating how-to articles and suggesting it as a kid’s craft.

Straw mobiles have inspired other artworks that incorporate similar geometric patterns,[19] such as a 5.2m sculpture made of aluminum and LED lights by artist Ray Bartkus.
