In a bowl, combine gelatins.
Add boiling water, stir until gelatins completely dissolve; chill until lukewarm, about 20 minutes.
Gently pull straws to extend to full length; place in a tall container. A cleaned 1 quart milk or orange juice carton to hold straws works well for this project.
Blend cream and food coloring with the lukewarm gelatin mixture. Pour into container, filling straws.
Chill until firm, at least 8 hours, or cover and chill up to 2 days.
Pull straws from container. Pull straws apart; run hot tap water for about 2 seconds over 3 - 4 straws at a time.
Starting at the empty ends, push worms from straws with rolling pin, or use your fingers; lay worms on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
Cover and chill until ready to use, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
Worms will hold their shape and consistency at room temperature up to 2 hours.
Makes 100 worms.
