When I helped my friends Allison and Ethan out with their recent wedding we decided to create a lemonade stand.
I was so excited about it and the first thing I thought to create were custom straws with adorable little flags.(The beautiful bride!)
For those of you who know me well, you know I do all of my work in Word. Simply because I don't have photoshop on my computer (LAME!). I decided I wanted to create 2 types of flags.
One triangle shape and one flag shape.I created a template in Word which
fit around 18 per page of the triangles and 14 of the flags.We decided to create a custom monogram for the bride and groom
and also add the word "enjoy" on the flag.
I think you could use regular straws for this and they would be adorable but I really wanted to find retro straws and I did! I found them at an online shop called
"Modern Lola". They were $3 for 50 and they have such great colors! I decided to go with the green and blue.
I printed the flags on my home printer and used my sturdy and loyal paper cutter to cut them out. I then used regular glue dots to secure them.
***Note: You need to use more than one glue dot to insure the flags don't separate.I think they turned out really well!
Remember it is the little details at events that make a world of difference. The total cost of this project was around $15 dollars!
