If your kids were as crazy about The Lion King as mine were you know where my title
comes from and you probably have it memorized as I have. When I was making this project that was the song that kept going through my head.... unfortunately! Having a luau party must be the "in" thing because our Wal-Mart has a big section devoted to luau party supplies.
I thought Surfer Ian and Hula Anya from THE GREETING FARM would make perfect luau decorations. If we ever get our patio and deck finished I will get to use them. I don't have a laminating machine but it would probably a good idea to laminate them so that they can be used repeatedly and easily be cleaned. These were super easy to make.
I made the top layer just as I would for a card. I stamped and colored
the image on white cardstock. I made another layer exactly the same out of solid color cardstock. I used the SU slit punch at the top and bottom of the solid color image, in this case orange. I then punched a hole inside the slit part that pops up.
I glued the two layers together leaving the slit free of the image side.
The straw slides right through. My punch was just a little on the big side so I used the flower decoration that came on the straw to hold the image in place.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

I absolutely love these straws! They are so well done and it is such a creative idea! The kids will love drinking out of these. Yes, I think your right, Luau's are definately the 'in' thing right now. I work at JoAnn's and we have a ton of this 'tiki' stuff now.
Oh-so-clever. And your coloring on these images makes them simply adorable. Great idea.
