We were tickled when this month’s Women’s Day featured a project inspired by red and white paper straws. Remember these straws from our Summer Cup Cover How-To? Well, this holiday variation — cleverly called the Straw-burst Wreath — caused a stir among DIYers.

We loved the simplicity of the project and statement the wreath can carry throughout the season. But if you need something with a bit more charm, Blogger Jen of Tatertots & Jello created this wonderful paper straw wreath variation, using a snowflake and ribbon accent.

And, while we’re on the topic of trees, did anyone else catch the Apartment Therapy roundup of 10 DIY Modern Holiday Alternatives? We were charmed by this wall art alternative and absolutely in love with the space-saving genius of a DIY Chandelier. Both provide a fantastic display for your holiday keepsakes, especially when space is limited.
