I was recently asked by my friends at Oriental Trading Co. if I could whip up a fun Valentine’s Day project for their blog. I’ve always been intrigued by paper straw wreaths so I decided to give it a try with some hot pink striped straws.
I’m not gonna lie, for my first attempt, I think it turned out pretty well.
This is a great wreath if you feel like you don’t have artistic talent because it’s literally just gluing paper straws together.
Go HERE to see the full, step-by-step tutorial on how to make this paper straw wreath!
Be honest, how long did you look at the wreath before the patterns started to trip you out?

February 9, 2016 at 5:24 PMThis is a really cute idea! I recently saw groups of paper straws in my local Target Dollar Spot. I’m going to have to go back and see if they are still available! 🙂

February 28, 2019 at 4:22 AMThis is a brilliant idea. Who would have thought that you can use paper straw as decorative material? This only proves that we can be creative while we are saving our planet. If we recycle and reuse materials then we can minimize waste materials that go directly to our ocean. We should start doing by promoting the use of eco straw and buying reusable materials.
