Hi there! It’s Megan from Homemade Ginger and I’m back to share a super easy and summer craft today. With all of the fun summer social events coming up, you will have plenty of reasons to make these adorable fruit straw toppers.
Our family is looking forward to lots of time by the pool this summer. We have recently moved and have access to a neighborhood pool. We also have friends with a pool and there are always lots of social summer events happening. Last summer, enjoying the pool as a family was a bit tricky because my daughter broke her arm for the 3rd time. Yes, by the age of 7 years old, she managed to break her right arm 3 times! Needless to say, her injury put a damper on many summer activities – especially swimming! We are hoping for no broken bones this summer so that we can all enjoy all of the pool fun together!
Something about a yummy, ice cold drink and being near the water on a hot day just go together. These little fruit straw toppers will dress up just about any drink. Kids will love making these to share with friends or hand out at their lemonade stand. These would also work great for a summer birthday party. The googly eyes just add an extra touch of silliness to this super easy paper craft!
These little straw toppers are super easy and you can change them up to make any fruits that you’d like! They would be the perfect addition to any backyard summer party because they look just so sweet in a yummy ice cold beverage!
Fruit Straw Toppers
The full tutorial is at the bottom of this post, but here is what you will need:
- Construction Paper
- Googly eyes
- Adhesive Roller
- Straws
- Scissors
First, you will want to cut out your fruit shapes. You will need 2 of each shape to create the front and back of the straw topper. For the stems, you will only need one shape for the front.
After attaching the stem (if your fruit has one) to one of the pieces, attach the eyes using the adhesive roller.
Next, apply adhesive to the outside edges of the backs of each piece.
Stick the front piece onto the back, pressing around the edges. You should have a space in the center to stick the straw through.
The straw topper should snugly fit onto the straw and you can slide it up or down to adjust it.
Stick in your favorite drink and enjoy!
Your kids will love helping create these silly fruit straw toppers!
