DIY straw craft ideas

Straws are one of my favorite unconventional craft supplies, because of the huge variety they come in, and the extremely low cost. These straw crafts will have you stocking up on them in every color and form!

Straws are among my favorite because of the diverse selection that they come in, and the crazy low cost. You may have crafted with straws among your first jewelry crafts, but it goes far beyond that. This post does include some amazing next-level straw jewelry crafts. But it also has some spectacular creations – from easy to expert – that you’ll definitely want to try.

Cheap plastic straws in normal and jumbo sizes last well and are great for spray painting or otherwise covering. Honestly, I was amazed at some of the designs here that make the most of what I might have thought were tacky colors (like those plant hangers below.)

Paper straws come in every color, and pattern making them perfect as a design element of your craft. They are made of thick paper, so they won’t stand up to water, but they are fun and great for more temporary crafts.
