So cute, huh?! And just think of all the different designs that are out there for cupcake liners now…Tons of ideas. 🙂
That is totally amazing and definitely needed during the summer months when you’re outside with your drinks. I can see the possibilities already. 🙂
Possibilities = Endless !!! Aren’t they the cutest things? And so versatile with all of the designs available…child and adult.
These little umbrellas are such a great idea! Love it!
Fun, fun, fun in the Summer Sun! I hope you enjoy them at your next outdoor function! 🙂
So simple and yet perfect! I wish I had thought of this! I am totally going to look like a genius at the next party at our farm! (I’ll be sure to send them your way when they ask!) Totally Pinning this!!
I can imagine that a picnic at a farm could REALLY benefit from these adorable little Bug Umbrellas! LOL
Genius away, my friend… Glad you like them, and thanks for the Pin! 🙂

Every once in while I run across an idea that seem so obvious that I wonder why we all aren’t doing it. This is one of them. So easy. So fun.
That is exactly how I felt, Granny Beth, and it couldn’t be easier. Enjoy your new found gem of an idea! 🙂
This is brilliant! I can definitely use this for by the pool this summer! I’m always picking up cute cupcake liners at Home Goods…that store is addicting! Thanks for the idea! If you have a free moment, I would love it if you would stop by and share it with us at #FoodieFriDIY too!
Genius! Love…. Love… LOVE this idea!! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by the Creative Inspiration Link Party. I hope you will join us again next week, M 8p CST – W 8p CST. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!
So glad you love this idea, Trish! 🙂 I’m loving your party, and will definitely be back! 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
Very exciting! Thank you, Kim.
That’s such a wonderful idea. So simple, yet so clever. I’m going to be doing this for my drinks from now on when we are drinking outside.
Lorelai – These are just too cute! I just had to share them. Check out my Tuesday Treasures from the Thursday Favorite Things Blog where you are featured.
I’m thrilled! Debi, thank you so much for featuring my Bug Umbrellas for Party Drinks. 🙂
Cute idea! I hate critters in my drinks!
What a cute and cleaver idea! My cousin swallowed a bee that went into his drink when we were kids, so I’m always afraid of something like that happening to my kids. Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
