I don’t know what it is, but a few years back I fell in love with paper straws. I love the patterns, the colors, and I think they look so cute in any drink.

How to make a paper straw Christmas tree ornament:
For this craft you will need:
5-6 paper straws in various colors
1 wooden star (or felt star would work)
3-5 mini craft pom poms
1 ribbon or string (for making an ornament)
craft glue (I like to use Elmer’s Xtreme because it holds well and is safe for kids)
scissors
- Choose 2 paper straws to be the tree trunk. Cut them both to be the same size. Use about two thirds or a little more than halfway of each straw.
2. Glue the two trunk pieces together with some craft glue and let dry.
3. Use the rest of the straws to make the branches of the Christmas tree. Cut the bottom piece to be the longest, then the next piece just a little bit shorter, then the next piece even shorter. Continue until you have enough piece to complete your tree with a very small piece at the top. They should create a triangle-like shape. You will need to cut about 11-12 pieces for a complete tree.
4. Start with the smallest piece and glue it onto the trunk at the top. Continue to glue the next pieces in a row from smallest to largest. Let the glue dry thoroughly.
5. Color your wooden star with markers (if desired) and glue onto the top of the tree. Glue on your mini pom poms on the front and the ribbon onto the back in a loop so you can hang it. And you’re done!! Now go make some more!
Hang your paper straw craft onto your Christmas tree and have a wonderful holiday season! Thanks for being here!
