Don Astras worked with Jonas Daugirdas, editor of Lithuanian-Heritage Magazine to produce a feature article about ‘Making Lithuanian Straw Christmas Ornaments (šiaudinukai)’.

The article appeared in the November/December 2016 issue of Lithuanian Heritage Magazine on pages 24-26. It includes my background on learning Ursula’s folk art and how to make these beautiful straw ornaments. You may subscribe to Lithuanian Heritage Magazine at:

Draugas News: Lithuanian Heritage Magazine.

To learn how to make your own Lithuanian Christmas tree ornaments from straw, see our Folk Art Workshops page.

We wish you a Merry Christmas or Linksmų Kalėdų!
