Straws ranging in colour from dark-brown to brownish-yellow are selected. The work is done on a cardboard covered with crepe-silk or khadi cloth. The sketch is first outlined on the crepe-board and then the paddy strands are parted along the lines of the sketch. Fine blades are used to cut the straw.
