DRINK UMBRELLAS

 

		Add a splash of colour to summertime thirst-quenchers with these bright and cheerful umbrellas. Pop one into every glass – besides doubling as swizzle sticks, the little paper parasols help identify each guest's drink.

Method

• Use wooden skewers a couple of inches longer than your glasses are tall
• Download the umbrella designs and print them on plain white paper
• Cut them out along the dotted lines, then make a slit as marked on each with scissors.
• Create a cone by overlapping the edges slightly and hold them in place with glue or tape underneath
• Push a skewer through the point on the inside of the cone
• Then use a little PVA glue to stick a small bead on top to finish

TIPS

• For an even more exotic look, thread chunks of pineapple and other fruit on the skewer too.
• Use decorative-edged scissors to cut around the edge of the circles for a quirky finish
