Happy Friday: Leprechaun Mustache Straws
Sent from reader, Tera:
With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, my girlfriend and I decided to have a little silly fun celebrating our inner Irish by making leprechaun mustache straws and homemade shamrock shakes.
I picked up these cute green and white striped paper straws on Amazon.com, but you could use any green straws you happen to have around. Just cut a mustache shape from orange paper–I printed out some mustache clip art for inspiration–then cut two slits for the straw to slip through.
We used our Leprechaun mustaches to drink yummy homemade shamrock shakes. To make your own, blend together 4 c. vanilla ice cream, 1 t. vanilla extract, 1/4 t peppermint extract (more or less to taste), and enough milk to make it the consistency you want–I used about a cup. Add some green food color and enjoy!
HAPPY FRIDAY! ๐

This is too cute!!!
Target has these straws also, too cute.
Yes, just saw them yesterday in the clearance section 30% off
When The Lorax came out (we’re beegan hippies) we did this with our glass dharma straws and recycled construction paper and drank organic cucumber and honey dew juice! The kids loved it
MIchaels craft stores also have the straws in the section where they carry $1, $2 and $3 items!!! I got them today to make these! So funny you posted this idea!
Or you can just go to your local starbucks and get a green straw for free! ๐
So cute and festive!
