Make Your Own Drink Umbrellas

Our DIY this month is great for those outdoor summer parties. Not only do they look adorable, but if you use them on a straw and slide them down to the top of your cup, they will also help keep the bugs out of your drink. And they're extremely simple to make. I traced around the bottom of a solo cup and cut out the circle with decorative scissors. 
Then I cut a line in to the center of the circle (if you want this exact, you will have to use a compass instead of a cup :-)). Cut another line into the center, cutting a triangle out of your circle. The wider your triangle, the more "tented" your umbrella will be.
Next punch a hole in the center of your circle and overlap the edges of your triangle, gluing the paper together.
Your punched hole will probably be smaller than your straw. This works well because when you force the straw through, your umbrella will fit tightly on the straw and stay in place.
Enjoy!
