"Fireworks" Straws & Drip Guards


Use colorful cupcake liners (flatten and cut in towards round center "fold") or use construction paper and follow along....

Picture
Cut circles out of construction paper, cut fringed strips towards center circle (center circle approx. the size of a quarter or nickel).
Picture
Fold circle in half, cut a small triangle in center of circle by snipping two angled cuts.
Picture
When you open the circle, you should have a small diamond shape.  Insert popsicle stick or straw so center circle outline (if you made one) faces down.

Straws

Keep kids well hydrated this summer when you make sipping even plain water more enticing with "fireworks" straws.
