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.  But I also love crafting with paper straws.  Paper straw crafts are simple and there are so many fun things to make with them.  One of my favorite paper straw kids crafts is this easy paper straw Christmas tree ornament.  It can be just a fun Christmas craft for kids or adults, or it can be an DIY Christmas ornament or gift.

How to make a paper straw Christmas tree ornament:

 

paper-straw-craft-items

 

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

  1. 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!

Enjoy a themed dinner while you watch a fun movie. The menu goes a long with the movie and is served to you while you are watching the scene it relates to. We saw Holes (which we love!) but there are many others to choose from. Our menu had a fun drinks, appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert. I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips

Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
