BONUS IDEA! Make a second one (since you can purchase the straws for just a few bucks!) to give to a military family you know. Tell them how much you appreciate their sacrifice!

    That is a really cute craft. I’d use it as matting for a photograph of my kids in their best 4th of July outfits 🙂

      Glad you like it Kate! What I love about it is that its so quick and easy! (Not counting spray painting a frame, which is optional) it only took about ten minutes!

    What an awesome idea! My name is Misty, and I am one of this weeks guest hosts for the Merry Mondays Linky Party, and wanted to stop by and say both, howdy, and thank you for linking up! I love the straws, and could also see them as a starburst wreath, and would love to see them as small firecracker-type ornaments as well! Thank you for the inspiration! I’ll be retweeting this as well!

      Misty, thank you so much for your encouraging comment and for sharing this post. I really appreciate it! I love the idea of using the paper straws as a sunburst wreath. I probably won’t get time to try it this year, but might give it a go in the future! Thanks for the idea!

    I so wish I had a Hobby Lobby near me so I could get cute stuff like that…it’s not the same as Michael’s. Yours turned out so cute!! I would love it if you linked this up to my Motivate Me Monday linky party!

      I saw patriotic paper straws that were a little more plain somewhere else, I can’t quite remember where… It may have been one of the dollar stores or TJ Maxx. Also there are paper straw sellers on Etsy, and I think Oriental Trading might sell them as well. They are such a cheap crafting material but add great texture! Thanks for stopping by!
