Do I bend them with the plastic on the outside or in the inside?

in general, the white side of the flip is on the outside, meaning the plastic/mylar is on the inside.

They're bent, like in the picture. I love that I can wash them in the dishwasher!

They do not bend. You can place them around a bend on angles. They are very stiff and strong.

Hard plastic, so-hard-you-can't-bend plastic...hope this answers your question.

I bent mine in various directions and adjusted them to what my needs where. Great flexability and no need to worry about their breakage.GOOD LUCK! :)

They are able to be bent. I would say they are a soft plastic. I bought them for my 2 year old grandson and he uses them for soccer and building a fort.

You could always purchase a metal angle or straight piece and screw it in place of the plastic. We broke a couple and that is what we did.

Just keep them is a dry flat place. I keep mine in the plastic sleeve it came in. It won't go bad unless it gets wet but it will crack if it bends. It looks super cool. :) good luck.

Hi A C. Indeed I use a small silicon spatula inserted in the sides and gently push them up.

well, the spring clips on the side... did you bend them? like permanently out of shape? once they go into the slots, they stay spread open and hold up the plastic face. if you bent them though, i'd suggest bending them back? Can't see how the face doesn't stay up and closed unless you had bent them out of shape?

They are hard plastic that is hollow on the inside. Very sturdy and held up well.

I believe you can use them inside and outside. They are a hard plastic, but tough.

Mine are bent so they are easy to use! I love them because I felt wasteful using plastic straws all the time. The grandkids will think they are cool, too.

I did not try to do this so I cannot really provide any specific direction. However, if I were attempting to do this the first step I would take would be to heat the current plastic fitting with a hair dryer and hope that this might (note....might, no assurance,) loosen the fittings up so I could twist them off with pliers.

I wouldn't stack them inside each other. They have become stuck and broke when I've done so in the past.

I use the bigger tips without the plastic coupling. Make use ooo the disposable decorating bags.

You just bend it in the direction that it can be bent. Mine broke during a wind storm. It bent out of shape and I had to toss it. I wouldn't buy another one.
