diy paper umbrella garland

Of the many reasons we love summer (the splendid sunsets, ice-cream every second day), sticking a paper umbrella into everything we drink is pretty up there. Not only do they automatically make us feel like we’re on a tropical island holiday, we also like to think their tiny arms are shading our ice cubes from the sun. The problem is, we never quite know what to do with them afterwards. Not anymore. Thanks to this festive DIY garland, we’ll be saving all of our little umbrellas to string up on our wall. It’s the perfect decoration for a summer soiree – just blunt the toothpick ends to avoid any ouchy accidents.
