Drink it up!

I know that I say this everytime...

but I'm really excited about my newest project.

Although, I use the term "project" loosely.

How cute is this?

According to our reception site coordinator we'll need a couple bars to cover the number of guests (I never thought that I had a large family until I started counting :))

And what makes bars fun?

Liquor!

I mean, vintage paper straws in a dispenser!

Add a little bakers twine and some security envelope hearts and my "project" was complete!

Directions:

1. Purchase one acrylic straw holder from Bed Bath and Beyond.

2. Purchase paper straws from HeyYoYo on Etsy.

3. Punch 4 (two of each pattern) hearts out of security envelopes using a heart-shaped paper punch (I think it's Martha Stewart brand).

4. Cut bakers twine to desired length.

5. Using a glue stick, glue two matching hearts together, sandwiching the end of the bakers twine between them.

6. Repeat with other hearts.

7. Tie around straw holder, securing with a tiny drop of Elmer's glue at the knot - if you use a tiny dot, at the knot, in a glue that dries clear, no one will ever see it and it will keep the string from falling down.

8. Place on bar and let guests enjoy their drinks!
