The fourth is right around the corner, so I wanted to get started on some fun July 4th crafts with the kids. Today we made fun Patriotic Paper Straw Bracelets!

July 4th Craft: Patriotic Paper Straw Bracelets

I try to keep pretty stocked up on my paper straws, I just love them! They are really cool to craft with and pretty inexpensive to get. I thought making some cool patriotic bracelets with the boys would be fun and festive.

Ok now on to this super easy kids craft, you’re going to need to following supplies:

Supplies

  • Paper Straws
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Scissors

Getting Started

As you can see the supplies are pretty easy. Paper straws and pipe cleaners, can’t get any simpler then that!

Time to get our crafting on!

July 4th Craft: Patriotic Paper Straw Bracelets

Step 1 – Cut Paper Straws

Pick out your most patriotic paper straws and cut them in different sizes.

If you have an older child they can do this step themselves. My 6 year old was able to cut all the straws himself.

Quick Tip:

Some of the straws were bent a little at the ends. So we just put them on the end of a paint brush and it totally fixed the problem.

Step 2 – Add Your Paper Straws

Now it’s time to add the paper straws. I just stuck with basic patterns.

This is even a perfect craft for my 2 year old. He had a great time adding the “beads”.  Once we finished, we just twisted the ends and cut off any extra.

Finishing Touches

My sweet little guy did such a great job showing off his bracelets. It’s a lot asking most 6 year old’s to take pictures wearing bracelets but my boys don’t mind.

If you have a girl you can add a little ribbon and bow to the ends for fun. This is such a quick craft you can do with the kids before or on July 4th. I think it will be a festive touch and keep the kids busy.

Enjoy your 4th!!
