Make this blue and white patriotic Paper Straw Firecracker Garland – it’s a perfect quick and easy Summer or 4th of July craft.

A Paper Straw Firecracker Garland - a quick and easy Summer craft.

The Target One Spot recently had patriotic items for Summer and the 4th of July – including some really fun paper straws.  Since I obviously have no self control in the Target dollar section, I bought two packages of paper straws and wooden “USA” decorative letters.  The plan: spend less than 10 minutes adding a little Summer flair to my front entry shelf.

Run the thread through a piece of straw, wrapping it around the straw a few times and tying a knot:

Continue to run the needle and thread through all of the pieces of straw.
