Halloween Ribbon Necklaces with Drinking Straw Beads

Paper drinking straws when cut can make very pretty beads. I found Halloween paper drinking straws at my local craft store. The paper straws were very durable they did not unravel at all. I cut the straws into 3/4″ beads and then used Ribbon-to-Bead to design simple kids Halloween ribbon necklaces. Morex Ribbon-to-Bead comes with a wire needle attached to make beading a cinch!

Materials Needed:

  • Halloween Paper Drinking Straws
  • Morex Ribbon-to-Bead
  • Black and White Micro Dots
  • Gold Taffeta
  • Black Taffeta
  • Halloween Embellishments
