Get into the summer spirit with our DIY guide to fun, colourful straws. The possibilities are endless if you infuse your straws with everything from ribbons, charms and tags. So raise your glass and add a pop of colour to your favourite drink.
Look 1 – Simple and Sweet
What You’ll Need:
- Birch print paper straws (or choose from our vast variety of straws in the Confetti shop!)
- Aqueous design diecut sticker in candy apple green
Instructions:
For a simple look that’s no less striking, just attach a personalised sticker around your straws. The pattern on the straws does the rest of the work for you, which is why we used our charming birch print straws. They’re particularly perfect for a woodland wedding!

Look 2 – Colourfun
What You’ll Need:
- Paper straws in candy striped, small white polka dot and polka dot designs
- Plain satin ribbon (any colour you desire)
- Mini natural wood buttons
- Whimsical garden design small rectangular tags
- “Love is sweet” personalised ribbon
- Striped cotton baker’s twine (in any colour of your choice)
Instructions:
1) With our yellow and pink ribbons, we simply tied them to our straws along with the tags. We tied the pink ribbon in a pretty bow, but we left the ends of the yellow ribbon loose and curled the ends around a pencil to put a springy curl in it.
2) With the blue straws, we used our twine to tie a tag and small wooden button to each straw.
The Final Look:

- Plain white ribbon
- Premium jewel adhesives in iridescent
- Chevron pattern metallic straws
- Expressions design small rectangular tag in vintage pink, personalised to say “Enjoy”

Simply fix your tag and crown charms to your straw with your ribbon, and finish it off with a jewel adhesive on the tip of each crown.
