Striped Straw Wreath

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.

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

It is a super simple wreath to make but takes a ton of time ๐Ÿ™‚ I simply wrapped the wreath form in ribbon. ย 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. ย 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. ย They are just some adorable die cuts I found at the craft store.

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

  8. 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.

  9. This turned out so cute! Now just add a mirror to the middle and you have a cute “sunburst” mirror for a kid’s room. ๐Ÿ˜€

  10. So sweet. What a great idea to use those fun straws. It would even been fun to use red and green striped together. Thanks for sharing.

  12. How fun!! I can see this as a great project to do with the kids on a snowy day. Of course yours looks much better than what my son will put together.

  13. i ADORE this. I want one right now! but i only have halloween straws in the house and a sick kid. poo.

    at least i can make the snowmen ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. You know I was just at Hobby Lobby yesterday and saw these straws and was wondering what I could do w/ them. Thankyou for the inspiration!

  15. Wow, this is such a creative and wonderful idea for creating a holiday wreath! I just happen to have some holiday straws on hand.. this will be fab!

  16. So cool! I’d be afraid to hot glue myself- of make an oval instead of a circle-LOL! Seriously, it looks great!

  17. what a cute and yet simple idea – I have never seen these straws in the store before. You did a great job!

  18. I can see how it would have taken a long time to make this but it was so worth it. It’s really, really cute!

  19. 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

  20. Oh, just love this idea!! Drop by & share it at my party if you like. A new one starting tomorrow. Visiting from DBB on FB Theresa ๐Ÿ˜‰
