Chenille Stems (Pipe Cleaners) Carioca Chenille 30 cm, 9 mm diameter, pack of 26, mixed colors

Carioca Chenille stems are 30 cm long pipe cleaners with a 9 mm diameter, supplied in a pack of 26 mixed colors. Each stem consists of a flexible metal wire core wrapped in a soft fibrous pile, providing both shape retention and a tactile surface. These chenille stems are designed for crafting, model making, school projects, decorations and a variety of do-it-yourself activities where bending, fastening or adding textured detail is required.

Advantages

The combination of a pliable wire core and a soft pile allows easy bending and shaping while maintaining the chosen form. A 9 mm thickness gives good structural stability for small models and decorative elements without being overly rigid. The 30 cm length provides enough reach for most craft tasks, and the mixed color assortment supplies immediate variety for creative projects. Stems are reusable and can be cut to size as needed, supporting multiple uses across different activities.

• School arts and crafts projects

• Children’s creative play and hobby projects

How to use

Choose a stem and bend it by hand to form the desired shape; the wire core holds curves and angles once positioned. For attachments, twist stems around small components or through holes to secure parts together. Stems can be cut with household scissors to shorten or create segments for finer details. For layered or multi-part projects, use multiple stems twisted or wrapped together to increase strength and stability.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting tools when trimming stems and supervise children during use to avoid sharp wire ends. For heavier loads or structural joins, combine multiple stems or supplement with glue or tape. Store stems flat and dry to preserve pile texture and prevent corrosion of the wire core.
