Straw Necklace Supplies:

• Red, white, and blue or patriotic paper straws.
• Yarn.
• Scissors.

This is such a fun activity to help keep your little ones entertained while you wait for the fireworks show on the 4th of July! And, it’s a great way to develop fine motor skills. 

Let’s get started on this fun summer paper straw necklace! First, gather all of your supplies. This will make crafting a lot easier.

Begin by giving your little ones several straws and a pair of scissors. Show the little ones how to cut the straws into smaller pieces. If your little ones are too little to cut them alone, you could pre-cut the straws. 

Next, cut a piece of yarn long enough to place over your little one’s neck.

Then, begin to lace the pieces of straws onto the yarn. Once your little jewelry artist is happy with their necklace, tie a knot in the yarn.

This would be a fun 4th of July party activity too.   

This is such a fun way to develop fine motor skill while enjoying the Fourth of July holiday.

That’s it! And, I hope it has inspired you to make fun memories with your little ones while creating a beautiful DIY paper straw necklace!
