Paper Straw Christmas Ornaments

Christmas Tree Ornament

1. Cut green straws into smaller sections of varying lengths.
2. Glue the longest section of straw about 1/2" from the bottom of a craft stick.
3. Continue gluing straw pieces, each one slightly shorter in length, to the craft stick. Leave about 1/4" inch between each straw.
4. Glue a colorful button to the top of your tree to be the topper. You can use any shape or color button that you like.
5. Use tape or glue to secure a loop of ribbon to the back of the craft stick for hanging your ornament.

Candy Cane Ornament

1. Cut a candy cane shape using white cardstock. You'll want the candy cane to be about an inch wide.
2. Cut red straws into smaller pieces, each just slightly longer than your candy cane is wide.
3. Glue straw pieces to your candy cane shaped cardstock, to make the stripes. We placed ours about 1/4-1/2" apart.
4. Glue or tape a loop of ribbon to the back of your candy cane ornament for hanging on the tree.

Angel Ornament

1. Cut white card stock in the shape of angel wings. We made one big piece, instead of two separate wings.
2. Glue a craft stick in the middle of your cardstock, with about an inch or so overhang on the bottom.
3. Cut gold straws that are different lengths. Just like the Christmas tree ornament, glue these straws in a triangle shape on your angel ornament. Leave about 3/4" of craft stick at the top.
4. Cut and glue a circle of white card stock, about an inch in diameter, at the top of your ornament, on the craft stick.
5. Glue a small loop of gold pipe cleaner on top, like a halo.
6. Glue or tape a piece of ribbon on the back of your ornament to use to hang on the tree.
