Before I went on my trip to Isle of Palms this last weekend I thought it would be nice to make the girls a little something. This is a relatively simple craft and super fun for the summer.
All you need is...Scissors, a glue stick (I never used it but just in case I guess) and a glue gun...
Sticker letters. I used Glitter ones but they come in all kinds of colors and sizes. You can usually find them with all things FOAM.
Can koozies. I got mine at Michael's for a $1 each.
Lei's. Also a $1 at Michael's. In the past I have used boas or even just ribbon.
First I laid out everyone's names. It was much faster this way.
Then one by one, stuck them on the koozies. It was Jen's birthday so I put Birthday Girl on her's.
This was the tricky part. The lei's had to be cut and I had to tie them off on the cut ends in order to keep the flowers on the string. Then I took the glue gun and in several places but a glue dot and stuck the lei to them.
Some of the koozies were warped so I used (go figure) chili sauce to straighten them out because I had no cans in my fridge.
Didn't they turn out so cute?? Everyone loved them!
They literally cost me less than $3 each to make. You could make them in different themes for all times of year. I am thinking about buying some black ones and buying a Fleur de Lis stencil and H stencil and painting them for our guests to use when we have cookouts. Wouldn't they be fun?
