I love paper straws... They're one of those details that just make me swoon...
Nothing like a pretty drink with a pretty straw... and a straw with a pretty straw flag! I purchased a printable party package and it included straw flags. One of the first few crafts I did for the shower? Cutting and gluing the straw flags... As is typical when I do things early, I couldn't settle on 1 design so I had multiple. They all were very cute but the ribbons were my fave:
I took ribbon included in the favor box kit (purchased in the bridal department at Walmart) and looped it around the straw. 2 dabs of glue (1 on the ribbon where the 'loop' met and 1 on the straw to hold the ribbon in place).
The others were just remixed versions of the typical paper flags and are pretty easy to create. The printable package I purchased provided straw flags in a variety of pink and gray prints. I used them to create several variations. Some examples included the pennant flag (shaped like a triangle), the traditional triangle flag (I cute a 'v' into the ends), the ripple (had a 3-point ruffle glued to the side, and the aforementioned ribbon flag.
Again, I completed tasks like this pretty early on to ensure these little details weren't lost in translation!
