Decorations from straws?

I have some foiled paper straws in silver and gold. I'd like to make something Christmassy out of them.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a suitable crafty site? Google isn't throwing up much. For me.
Thank you

Perhaps have a look at how to make a corn dolly? You could use the bell shape as a tree decoration, or heart or twist shapes?

There are lots of ideas on Pinterest

Thanks both.
Pinterest has pictures but I can't find a how-to which is why I asked for help.
Thanks for the corn dollies lead! I'll try searching those while I continue trawling random craft sites as I have no clue!

You're welcome!
Making wheat straw stars is a traditional German Christmas activity, and you should be able to copy many of the traditional designs with man made straws. There are loads of pictures if you google "German straw stars". Have fun! Smile
