Make Your Own Drink Stir Sticks

Make your own drink stir sticks with this easy DIY. Create an array of one-of-a-kind accents for your cocktail glass!

As I always say, it’s the tiny little details that people notice most when a party is creatively designed. In my own creative process I always start out by seeing the big picture first, and once that’s established I start looking at places where I can “guild the lily” so to speak, and add little details.

I’ve worked on a couple of projects {shabby chic shower and tea party shower} recently where I decided cute adorned stir sticks were a must-have item to dress up drinks. This of course led to today’s post – ideas for making your own DIY stir sticks.

I started thinking about all the tiny craft supplies I have in my studio, and how easy it would be to attach them to a stir stick to create a party accessory for every theme!

Make your own Drink Stir Sticks

supplies:

a pack of wooden drink stirrers

some Glue Dots

an array of items to attach, like scrapbook embellishments

buttons

gem stones

Scrabble tiles

fabric or paper flowers

tiny magnets, & more.

I even made tiny “bow ties” for fancier affairs, weddings, or an Oscars viewing party.

You can use anything that coordinates with your theme, color scheme, or style of design.

I also like the look of this eclectic mix all used together at a single party. It’s kind of like the Monopoly game pieces where each guest gets to choose a stirrer based on their personality.
