I recently threw a party at which we used paper straws for the punch.  They were a big hit, but the package I bought contained about twice as many straws as I needed.  So I started wondering, what else can you do with paper straws besides sip on tasty beverages?  Kim at The Tomkat Studio used some cute paper straws to make fun frames!  They’re perfect for adding a little personality to a bulletin board – wouldn’t this be fab for dorm room decorating?  [how to make paper straw frames]
