Kids Decorative Paper Straw Christmas Tree Ornaments

The holiday season is the perfect time to get creative with family craft projects. One of the most fun and budget-friendly activities is making Kids Decorative Paper Straw Christmas Tree Ornaments. These ornaments are simple, colourful, and a joy to make with children. Best of all, they create long-lasting keepsakes that you can bring out year after year.

If you’re looking for easy DIY Christmas crafts that kids can enjoy, this step-by-step guide will show you how to make your own festive ornaments with just a few materials.

Materials You’ll Need

• Decorative paper straws
  
• Hot glue gun / strong glue
• Card
• Ribbon (browse festive ribbons here)
• Scissors

Choose Christmas-themed paper straws and ribbons for a festive look. You can also explore eco-friendly or patterned options from craft supply shops to add variety.

We picked our favourite Christmas-y paper straws and ribbon from our collection to get started on this fun craft project! 

Step 1 – Create the Tree Trunk

Start by forming the tree trunk. Use two paper straws placed side by side. Add a small amount of glue (with parent supervision if little ones are helping) to hold the straws together securely.

Step 2 – Build Your Christmas Tree

Now it’s time to create your tree branches.

• Begin at the top of the trunk.
• Cut the first straw so it’s about the same width as the trunk.
• Gradually cut each straw a little longer as you work down the tree.

Leave a small space at the top for your star. Glue each straw carefully to the trunk, forming a triangle tree shape.

Step 3 – Trim the Tree Trunk

Once your branches are attached, trim any excess length at the bottom of the trunk so it looks neat and balanced.

Step 4 – Add the Star

No Christmas tree is complete without a star! Draw a star on card, cut it out, and glue it to the top of your tree. For sparkle, try using glitter card or even metallic stickers.

Step 5 – Attach the Ribbon

Finally, cut a small piece of ribbon and glue it to the back of your ornament. This will allow you to hang your tree proudly on your Christmas tree branches. Choose a ribbon that complements your straws for a coordinated look.
