Let’s Get Crafty: Fancy Straws

My hubby typically doesn’t eat breakfast during the week but since Valentine’s Day is Friday I’m planning a simple little treat for him made even more special because of a little crafting project I completed.

Slide1

On the menu is a fruit cup, his favorite muffins and a fruit smoothie.
I thought it would be fun to create special straws for us to drink from, of course made with love.

Supplies:

Fancy Paper Straws
Martha Stewart Heart Punch
Colored Paper (I used paint chips from the hardware store)
Valentine’s embellishments
Scotch Tape
Scotch Mounting Tape
 
Punch hearts from your colored paper (or free paint chips)
Cut 1/4″ wide paper strips long enough to fit around the straw, tape strip ends to create a paper band
Attach Valentine’s embellishments to hearts using mounting tape

 This is what the paper band will look like.

Slip embellished hearts over straws and enjoy your beverage.

After breakfast slip the embellished heart off the straw and throw the used straw away. The embellished heart is ready for the next celebration! {Valentine’s cocktails}!
 
Happy Valentine’s Day!
