pipe cleaner

Bendable craft stick

A pipe cleaner is a short length of wire covered in fuzzy fibers, originally designed to clean the stems of tobacco pipes.

The flexible, bendable material made them popular for children's crafts, where they're twisted into figures, animals, and decorations: The kids made pipe cleaner butterflies.
