DIY PARTY STRAWS FOR WORLD PARTY DAY
Thursday, March 22, 2012 at 6:35AM 
It's coming up fast, WORLD PARTY DAY is April 3rd. When Rebecca of BIG THINGS and KITIYA PALASKAS asked me to do a DIY to add to the merriment and get ready to celebrate, of course I said OH YEAH! A whole day for parties? Yes, yes, yes. Well today is my day to share so here is an easy way to dress up your straws, with fringe. Who couldn't use a little more fringe in their lives?
Have you ever made a party straw? Yep, me neither. I also happen to still love tissue fringe and might have to put it on everything. I was sitting at my last party, thinking those paper straws are so cute, but oh so plain. What better way to celebrate World Party Day than with a party in our bev? Am I right? Let’s get started.
You will need: tissue paper, paper straws, double stick tape and scissors. Don’t forget a beverage to test it out!
Take your tissue paper, I used small sheets about 15” x 20”, and cut them into strips about 2” wide. Fold each strip in half and cut fringe on one side, about ¾ of the way up. Be careful not to cut all the way through the strip or you will have confetti instead!
Wrap a strip of double stick tape around the straw about 1/3 of the way from the top. Attach the folded end of the tissue fringe, uncut section of the top and wrap around the straw.
Secure end with a small piece of tape and fluff.
Make one or many and party on!
Be sure to check back each day until WORLD PARTY DAY for awesome DIYs! Gotta love a good party!

SO FUN!!! The straws and World Party Day!! I can just see it now...
Husband: What are you doing?
Me: Huh? Just drinking orange juice.
Husband: What is that poofy thing on your straw??
Me: It's tissue paper, and don't get it twisted...it's fabulous, and is the best way to start the day.
Husband: You're weird, Kir. But I love you.
Me: *takes big swig through fancy straw* Love you too.
Can you just move to Austin and make everyday a perfect and pretty party??
Fantastic idea! I recently purchased a ton of paper straws and I'm really thinking I need to buy tissue paper asap. Who knew something so simple could be so charming and pretty!
oh my lanta. I love these. This has to be the CUTEST and SIMPLEST diy I've ever seen! Great yob!
Adorbs!!!! I just went through a box of paper straws and now must get another! Also, just a tip, do NOT get straws from Etsy, they are crrrrazy expensive there! I got mine at www.graygoose.com, but I'm guessing there are other vendors w equivalent prices. Thanks for this fab post!!
Um, Kirsten's comment made me almost as happy as your straws! Super cute, as always!
This is so great! What a cool idea. Shared on our Facebook wall today - thank you!
