EASY STRAW TOPPERS FROM SCRAPBOOK PAPER

February 20, 2020 by madincrafts Leave a Comment

Paper straws have two benefits: they are better for the environment than plastic straws, and they come in such pretty colors and patterns. I added easy straw toppers made from scrapbook paper to make my straws a fun design element for my party setup.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE PAPER STRAW TOPPERS

I’m making all my party supplies this week from this one pack of scrapbook paper. That way my whole party will look coordinated and purposeful, but I can still keep my party budget in check!

USING SCRAPBOOK PAPER FOR YOUR PARTY SUPPLIES

DIY CUPCAKE WRAPPERS WITH YOUR CRICUT

I hate spending a ton of money on party supplies since they usually just get thrown away at the end of the night. I do like having my party supplies coordinated, however. The solution is to buy a pack of scrapbook paper, and get as much out of that pack as humanly possible! I created three Design Space canvasses that make very little paper waste to save you money.

  • Paper Party 1: This 12×12 canvas includes 2 cupcake wrappers, 2 straw flags, 2 pillow boxes, and 4 circles for the garland. (FREE)
  • Paper Party 2: This 12×12 canvas includes 2 pillow boxes, 4 circles for the garland, 4 straw flags, 2 water bottle wrappers, and confetti. (FREE)
  • Paper Party 3: This 12×12 canvas includes 1 party hat and 8 circles for the garland. ($0.99)

EASY PAPER FLAGS FOR PARTY STRAWS

How to Make and Add Toppers to Paper Straws

  1. Cut out the flags using your Cricut.

    I have included a simple flag design in my canvasses above, but you can just create a small rectangle shape in Design Space too.colorful chevron paper on a Cricut mat

  2. Position the paper flag on the straw.

    Be sure to leave enough room for your guests to sip from the straw!hand assembling a paper party straw flag

  3. Use a small amount of hot glue to attach the flag around the straw.
