I love hosting little parties and get-togethers, especially in the summer when life is so much more carefree and calm. Adding simple handmade details is part of the fun and I’m going to show you how to make your own umbrella straws customized for your party!
Using scrapbook paper in your theme colors, cut circles about 5-6 inches in diameter. The intricate ones below were cut using a circular paper punch but simple, plain circles are just as cute. You’ll need one circle for each umbrella.
Cut approximately a quarter of the circle out …
… and glue the two edges together with hot glue.
You will likely have a small hole at the top but you may need to snip it a bit to make it large enough to fit a straw. Just be careful not to snip it too much or the umbrella will slide right down the straw and into the drink. You want it to fit snugly.
Slide the umbrella over a cute straw and you have a fun accessory for a summer party. And it took no time at all!
They’re perfect for any beverage but they look especially great in a sangria float {wink}!
