Drinking Straw Menorah Craft Is Beyond Adorable!
Hanukkah crafts made from plastic drinking straws are so much fun and a great way to recycle! I have already share with you my Hanukkah drinking straw wall hanging, or why not call it a Hanukkah mobile? And now, for one of the favourite results of playing around with drinking straws, I present to you the drinking straw menorah, with Q-tip to boot! This little menorah is cute as can be, and a great gift, so make a bunch. Kids can enjoy “lighting” a new candle each day of Hanukkah, while I on the other hand love seeing them with all the candles lit. This little menorah isn’t large, but…

Drinking Straw Diamond Starburst Ornament
We are on a roll with the elements you’ll need to assemble a fun Hanukkah wall hanging made from drinking straw ornaments, so far we’ve learned how to make a drinking straw dreidel and a drinking straw starburst, and I now introduce to you the “diamond starburst.” When one is combining a bunch of elements together to make a wallhanging, a diamond shape is a great addition, and indeed this diamond starburst pulls together all the other elements, so do learn how to make it! Now is the time to get crafting, and most folks have a few straws hanging around somewhere that could be used up, or of course…

Drinking Straw Starburst Ornament
Let’s recycle all those plastic straws that we may be using (if not recycling, use what you may have on hand or buy paper ones, please!) and make some wonderful and festive decorations! I’ll be using straws to make a whole bunch of Hanukkah ornaments for a wall hanging, but of course this idea could be used for decorations for so many occasions. Best of all the drinking straw ornaments I’ve made for this Hanukkah are two sided, so in the future I can use them to hang in a doorway or as a mobile. You can find the link to the tutorial for making the drinking straw dreidel ornaments…

Drinking Straw Dreidel Ornament
Plastic drinking straws have been outlawed in California indicating that they are not a good thing for our environment, so if you don’t have any on hand for this Hanukkah craft, PLEASE use paper instead. I happen to have many many bags of plastic drinking straws from IKEA so stay tuned for a bunch of crafts as I attempt to put a little dent in this collection by using them to make some festive decorations for Hanukkah! For starters, you can make drinking straw dreidels in any size you desire, to be used in a mobile, hung in a doorway, or on a wall, you decide! I have made dreidels…

DIY Cake Flowers From Plastic Straws
If you ever find yourself trying to decorate a cake in say ten minutes, you have come to the right place, as this is my quickest (and maybe even cutest) cake decoration idea yet! All you need are some plastic (or possibly paper) straws and some scissors and a few minutes, and voila, cute cake flowers can transform a simple cake into something gorgeous. I’m not sure how I came up wth this idea as I was literally sweating to get the cake decorated, but I think I must have been inspired by those little vintage style plastic flowers used to hold birthday candles! Now, as you may notice, I…
