Crafters love it for building puppet handles, macramé bases, weaving looms, or compact flagpoles for special events. Teachers and parents grab them for STEM activities, structural prototypes, or group crafts because the size is easy for kids to manage but still sturdy enough for practical builds. If you’re into baking displays, these dowels come in handy for supporting cake stands or tiered dessert trays.
