Striped Straw Wreath

I’ve been busy crafting for Christmas!  One thing I have always wanted to have is a bright, cheery striped straw wreath.  So, this year, I decided to make one!

It is a super simple wreath to make but takes a ton of time 🙂 I simply wrapped the wreath form in ribbon.  I used one of the mdf ribbon forms because they would give me flat surface and are much less expensive than some of the other options.

Once I was done with the ribbon, I hot glued paper straws all the way around.  I cut some of the straws in half to create the different lengths on the wreath.

I added these cute little snowmen to the side of the wreath.  They are just some adorable die cuts I found at the craft store.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

  21. That is such a fun & creative idea for a wreath! It looks great keeping it simple with the three snowmen, or it could be glammed up with sparkles and glitter and ribbon.

  50. I am catching so many ideas for holiday crafts! I never would have thought of creating one out of straws! Candy canes, maybe, but not straws! (I kept teaching my kids how to make those worms with the straw wrappers.. shows where my creativity went 😉 )
