Drink Umbrellas


How cute! Martha Stewart had this on her "craft of the day" and I think it is SUCH a cute way to add color to your specialty drinks at cocktail hour. And a great way to weave your "wedding colors" into your drinks!

Very easy to make too. See directions below:

A soup can makes a handy template for origami-paper umbrella tops. Cut paper with pinking shears or scallop scissors for a decorative edge. From each circle, remove a pie-slice shape measuring about 1/8 of the circumference. Fashion into a cone, slightly overlapping straight ends; use a glue stick or double-sided tape to secure. Dab white craft glue inside nose of cone, and pierce tip with a wooden skewer (snip skewer for a custom fit); allow to dry.
