Thank you Sweetie!

[@elainewhite9361]

These are so pretty,I love the coloured straws,they are perfect for this project,and the flatback gems too look great on the tree.Bless you and thanks for sharing .

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Elaine White Thank you so much! I was really pleased with how colorful this ornament turned out. One of my easier crafts! God bless!

[@elainewhite9361]

They are lovely,we dont seem to get many nicer patterned straws here in the UK,but have ordered some lovely ones from China,so hoping to make a few for my own tree xx

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Elaine White I may just have to come up with another Christmas ornament pattern using straws. These were fun! :o)

[@elainewhite9361]

ooh I will look out for that one x

[@elainewhite9361]

I had forgotten this one until I found a couple of packs of pretty straws in a box,I know what I will me making tomorrow.These really are cute,bless you and thanks for sharing xx

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

+Elaine White Thank you Hun! I really enjoyed this project. There are so many different colors of straws you can use. I found a seller on Ebay who has really good feedback. She sells beautiful straws 12 for .99 cents plus free shipping. She lives in China but I was really impressed with how quickly I received my order. Hugs!

[@elainewhite9361]

Mine were from China too,we dont get any pretty ones over here :-( xx

[@carolekinsey7835]

😊very cute. X

[@heidihasenjager889]

How time many things were once beautiful has become boring. A simple straw that is colorful and made out of some type of thin layer of cardboard. Now, the straws has become white or clear made out of plastic like no life. I love your straw Christmas tree ornaments. You are so clever and crafty. Thank you for sharing.

[@malepiscis08]

[@lindabrown7374]

These are so cute! I have everything except the straws and the turbo glue. I love Aleene's regular tacky glue. I sure miss the TV show.

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

LINDA BROWN Thank you Linda! I miss Aleene's show too! I also liked Carol Duvall and was so sad when they pulled her program.

[@homelifewithlinda1985]

These will be great to do with the youth group at church! Love it!

[@kathrynjackson3007]

This one called out my name. I went to Dollar Tree and bought the straws, went to Michael's and bought the star beads and bling. I also bought gold beading thread that I'll use as a hanger. I plan to give them to my nieces and nephews with money wrapped around the "trunk" like you showed us. THANKS Happy Bird!!!! 💓💓💓

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Kathryn Jackson Good for you Kathryn! LOL! I think you'll have fun with this one. It went pretty smoothly for me once I cut all the straws, however, the paper with the measurements is what really helped me organize. God bless!

[@virginiabernal8645]

Hi, I made these ornaments for my 6 yr old grandson 's kindergarden classmates and his team of theapists. They really enjoyed them. Made a total of 40. It was fun. Thank you for the tutorial. And GOD BLESS you. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Virginia Bernal Virginia, it just warms my heart to know you had so much fun making the Christmas tree ornaments! :o) And how sweet of you to make 40 of them for your grandson's class! That's a lot of work! :o) My grandson turned 7 a couple of months ago and he is the light of my life. Aren't they fun? :o) If I had it my way, I would want at least 10 more! LOL

[@evelynhernandex7637]

[@pdelmercado]

I love it! How about if I roll the money into a small tube and stick it in the straws?

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Hey, that might work! LOL

[@Marsha1901]

another wonderful crafter ornament, thank you for the inspiration. x

So cute........hope I can find the straws. If not I may try rolling paper and see if that works. Love the idea......tfs! I just subscribed to you!!

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Thank you Ann! I have also seen the paper straws in the dollar bin section at Target as well as in the dollar bins at Michaels. The Frugal Crafter (on KZbin) also has a great tutorial on how to make your own paper straws with scrapbooking paper and wax. Hope this helps! :o)

The Christmas trees are so nice & on the back of the stick who ever made it can put their Initals of their name & the year they made it if the choose to do so. When the next year come they can say oh I did it like this last year. Just a small suggestion. I like all your crafts & Thanks for sharing.

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Yes, do you need the link? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaS0qHSIidGXa9E

[@purrfectquiltspurrfectquil3617]

Did you use shears or a knife to cut the straws?

[@christinatravis6686]

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Tracy Ruth Awww! You are so sweet! Thank you Tracy Ruth! :o)

[@mrsmrs4844]

Hi.... This is very cute! What did you use to cut the straws - an exacto knife or scissors? I know the straws are thicker, but can be damaged if you squeeze them too hard. Thank you.

[@rebornlove15]

I just picked up the straws, star beads and rhinestones I had the twine and Popsicle sticks in my stash I got the twine at dollar tree a while ago do you mind if I sell some of these at a local craft fair? TFS God Bless

[@HappyBirdsGlitterNest]

Sweetie, of course you can! You can sell as many as you want and I hope you have good show! :o)
