Fun fact about my family: My great-grandmother had a huge collection of swizzle sticks that she kept for many years and passed down to my mother. One day the stirrers will get passed down to me, but, in the meantime, I’ve started my own collection with these wood and washi tape swizzle sticks.*
Supplies
- ¾” wooden circles
- Washi tape, in various colors/patterns including 1 glittery roll
- Ruler
- Craft knife and self-healing cutting mat
- Hot glue gun
- Wooden coffee stirrers
Steps
1. Place 2″ to 3″ long strips of washi tape onto the cutting mat. Then use a craft knife to cut narrow strips about ¼” wide.
2. Press the strips onto each of the wooden circles at varying angles, overlapping them. Wrap the ends around the edges and to the back of the circles.
3. Accent each wooden circle with a strip of the glittery washi tape.
4. Hot-glue the back of each of the wooden circles to the top of a wooden stirring stick. Let cool before using.
*Note: These drink stirrers cannot be washed in the dishwasher! They are made for only a few uses.
