Ornaments of Straw

Make Your Own Straw Ornaments

December 13, 2020 | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM CT

Sunday Funday is back! One Sunday of the month, the Neill-Cochran House Museum opens its doors to feature hands-on activities, scavenger hunts, and space to enjoy lunch in the shade. Though this version will be more sanitized and socially-distant than previous iterations, we hope you and your family take the opportunity to come out and do some crafts with us.

This holiday season decorate your home with simple and timeless beauty of straw. Light and shiny, straw is the perfect decoration. Harkening back to German and Scandinavian traditions, straw was something all homes, rich or poor, could find in abundance. As a result families wove straw together to decorate their homes during the winter holidays. This Sunday Funday we will weave straw together to make lasting and brilliant ornaments. We will provide the materials, you bring the fun!

Our monthly Sunday Funday series is free with the price of museum admission. This is a drop-in event; it is not necessary to arrive at 1:00pm nor stay until 4:00pm to enjoy the activity. Though this activity will be taking place primarily outdoors, we still ask that all visitors wear masks at all times on the museum property. The Neill-Cochran House Museum is happy to provide free parking for our guests.
