Lee Ann here, sharing fun table decor for your summer backyard gatherings. Drinking straw embellishments are so trendy right now, so I made some fun citrus embellies, perfect for glasses of lemonade.
I made lemon, lime and orange slices, using refreshing citrus colors from the Pop Tones Sample Pack.
I used the Orange Fizz, Lemon Drop, and Sour Apple card stock from the Pop Tones Sample Pack.
My circle sizes are approximately 2 1/8″, 2 1/2″, and 2 3/4″ in diameter.
Cut the smallest circle into eighths. Slightly round the corners of each piece. Glue them to the white circle, then glue the white circle to the largest circle and cut the unit in half.
Cut a piece of white card stock- I used Curious Metallic Cryogen White card stock to give it a bit of a shimmer- approximately 1 1/4′ x 2 1/2″. Stamp a background image onto your card stock. This gingham pattern was perfect for picnic/summer backyard entertaining. Punch holes near both ends of the card stock.
Lastly, smear a small amount of Tombow Mono Multi-Purpose glue over the citrus pieces and sprinkly generously with glitter.
Now all you have to do is glue the citrus wedge to the rectangle card stock and insert the straw through the holes!
There you have it for a super quick and easy project!
I hope you like it and are inspired to try your own summer party decor!

Are you ready for spring? Every year, about the middle of February, I am mentally finished with dreary gray days, and ready to fill my eyes with brightness and color. We have an old window frame, which gets an occasional update for seasons and holidays, and it was definitely ready for a spring makeover.You probably can’t tell by this photo,…
Hi again. Carol from the DT back with a quick and easy patriotic themed card. Can you believe July 4th is less than a month away? Our son is doing a Summer internship with a Professor and won’t be home for the Fourth. I’m planning on sending him a box with some holiday goodies, and being…
Hello all! We are continuing our Fall journey though September with orange, brown, gold and black stock. I have been all about decoupage lately and was dying to share a project that would incorporate some Modge Podge. I thought with the current theme and time of year, custom coasters would be a great idea to…
Here’s a quick way to make beautiful cards that actually looked more complicated than they are to make. Using the wreath builder set from Gina K Designs helps you breeze through creating them. But using the right paper sets the stage to make them even more beautiful. I love the look of the Royal Sundance…
