Paper Straw Snowflake Ornament

Paper Straw Snowflake Ornament

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Don’t you just LOVE a paper straw crafts!? I sure do! Every year I like to create a new ornament to make with the kids for their Christmas Tree.  So this year we made a Paper Straw Snowflake Ornament! These snowflakes are absolutely adorable and a little addictive to make!

You can get pretty creative with your color combinations and designs.  A couple years ago I made Paper Straw Christmas Trees and they have alway been a huge success. So I was happy to finally check this craft off my craft to-do list!

Let’s get started!

Snowflake Ornament Supplies Needed:

  • Paper Straws
  • Snowflake
  • Scissors
  • Hot Glue & Glue Gun
  • Twine

Paper Straw Snowflake Ornament

Step 1 – Cut Straws

Let’s start off by picking out your paper straws and then cutting them in half.  There are so many great paper straw options out there, but with this craft we decided on our favorite Christmas color combo, the mint and red.

Step 2 – Prep Snowflakes

Next, since these snowflakes are ornaments I needed to break the top part off so that I can use this as the center of our craft.

They POP off super easy!

Step 3 – Lay out Design

Now have the kids lay their design out before adding any glue.  This will give them an idea of where to put their hot glue when ready.

We decided to shorten a couple of the paper straws to make different sizes.

Step 4 – Glue Down Straws

Let’s add our hot glue! If you have younger kids doing this craft, then adult supervision will be required.

Those paper straws aren’t going anywhere now!

Finally I added some twine to one of the snowflakes so we can easily hang it on the tree.  I dabbed a little hot glue to the back and placed my twine down.

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
