Supplies You’ll Need
Bamboo Skewers. I initially used long wooden bamboo skewers like these when I made this project. But these days there are so many more options! I think these clear plastic drink stirrers would look very cute with this particular project.
Pompoms. Here’s a great assorted bag that you can keep around for various projects. Pull out your favorite colors to create a palette that you like for the drink stirrers.
Glue Gun. If you’re a frequent maker, I recommend getting a good glue gun for your craft supplies.
Scissors. This set of scissors makes nice crisp cuts and comes in three sizes.
How to Make Valentine’s Day Drink Stirrers
- Use the scissors to trim your bamboo skewers to your desired length.
- Use the glue gun to attach various pompoms to the top end of each skewer. Vary the arrangement and number of pompoms on different skewers for a fun effect.
- Trim all glue strings and be sure your skewers are free of any splinters. Pop them in your drinks and serve!
More Valentine Ideas
I love how they kind of look like bubbles! They look particularly fun in a fizzy pink drink, like our Rosé Prosecco Cocktail.
And if your guests are smart and remember which stir stick is theirs, these can even double as drink markers!
I love the idea of making some cocktails and having a Valentine’s Day crafternoon with your friends — you could make these paperweights or valentine garlands.
Hope these bring some fun into your day!
xoxo
