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!
