Description

There's nothing better than a cocktail umbrella in your drink to celebrate the summer and our custom stamp from Maemae & Co made it so easy to put a professional touch to our drinks.

Instructions

  1. Small 110294 2f2015 08 06 043828 img 2004

    Pick out some paper which you think will work well for a cocktail stick and stamp with your rubber stamp, leaving to dry.

  2. Small 110294 2f2015 08 06 043938 img 2005

    Cut out your design - it's a nice idea to use a coaster as a template to get the size just right!

  3. Small 110294 2f2015 08 06 044011 img 2006

    Fold the circle in half vertically and then unfold. Fold horizontally and then unfold. Then fold diagonally in half to the left and right of your first two folds.

  4. Small 110294 2f2015 08 06 044105 img 2007

    Squeeze around your circle, folding together every first and third fold, to reinforce the umbrella shape.

  5. Small 110294 2f2015 08 06 044206 img 2008

    Take a cocktail stick and press it through the center of your umbrella. Secure underneath with a drop of paper glue.

  6. Small 110294 2f2015 08 06 044258 img 2009

    Finish off by sticking a gem, sticker or bead over the raw edge of the stick.
