DIY Paper Straw Gift Wrap Toppers – 5 Ways

DIY Paper Straw Gift Wrap Topper Tutorial | @fallfordiyDIY Paper Straw Gift Wrap Toppers | @fallfordiy

It’s the same every year. I have all these grand plans to make my gift wrapping a force to be reckoned with. Unfortunately the reality is that I inevitably leave it all to the last minute and have no supplies to dress up the wrapped presents. So this year I’ve given myself a challenge to create gift toppers with wrapping and packaging supplies I know I will have on hand.

The result are these handmade DIY paper straw gift wrap toppers, which I’ve styled five different ways (although I could have done so many more!) So you have plenty of options if you’re anywhere near as disorganised as I am!

Materials

Paper (the thinner the better) | Skewer | Double sided tape | Parcel string

Instructions

Fold a corner of the paper over the skewer. Press down and begin to roll the paper around the skewer. Just before you reach the full length of the skewer lay a strip of tape (you might need an extra pair of hand for this). Peel back the top layer and keep rolling the paper over the tape. Remove the skewer and cut off the excess paper.

Cut the straws into smaller beads and thread onto the parcel sting. Create different shapes like flat triangles, himmeli pyramids, single tubes and parallel wrapped beads. Or use newspaper, colourful gift wrap or even marbled contact paper to create different effects.

Clip off some evergreen cuttings and slip the underneath the straws to give the wrap that extra Scandi Christmas feel and you’re ready to start giving!

    This would also work great with air-drying clay straws, maybe gold-dipped for that extra luxe feel. And, of course, you could go wild with the shapes to complement the shape of each gift!

    It is apparent that the writer is a statistics geek.
    I enjoy how he writes and writes facts. It is always such a joy to read posts made by real professionals.
    I’m fed up with that no-name, ghostwritten articles.
    That is the reason it was so pleasant to look at a compelling
    piece.

    Hello everyone! I wanted to share my recent experience with banner printing in Los Angeles. I came across this amazing website, https://bannerprintinglosangeles.com/, where I found top-notch services for all my banner needs. They offer a wide range of options, from vinyl banners to mesh banners, all at competitive prices. The quality of their prints exceeded my expectations, and the turnaround time was incredibly quick. If you’re searching for reliable banner printing services in Los Angeles
