DIY Valentines Straws

I know, I know it's not February yet, and I hate to do this, (I have a thing with allowing a month to finish itself out before jumping into the next one) but I have to sneak one valentine post in before January's over.  And yes, I'm quite aware that I'm way behind on the valentine train in blogging land, and I probably need to change my tune if I want to survive as a blogger.  

My boys love straws, but we hardly ever use them at our house.  That is until a holiday comes along and I can't stop hot gluing embellishments to them.  Then we use them more frequently because I think they're so cute.  And truth be told, I love when my boys use these kind of straws, but if they just sit in a cute container as decor, then that's fine with me too.

I found the glitter heart stickers at Dollar Tree, and the red heart felt stickers at Michaels.  Both came in packages for just $1.

  I've had the straws for awhile.  I'm not quite sure where I got them, but I'm sure they're everywhere this time of year.  BTW, have you ever tried to buy plain white straws?  I was looking for some to do wintry snowflake straws ( I can't stop!), but I could not find a single white straw anywhere!  Let me know if you've ever seen them.

I added a dab of hot glue to the straws, attach the heats, and viola!  Instant fun!  Well, instant fun for me because I get to use a lot of pink and hearts.  I have a house full of boys, so those two things rarely get used in my neck of the woods.

The perfect easy, inexpensive, and adorable addition to any valentine table or party. 

And to show off more of my straw embellishing addiction, you can check out my Halloween straws.  They're my FAVORITES!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you found a little something worth your time.
