 1. Begin by cutting your straws in half. Also cut your construction paper. We cute squares that were 2.5 inches wide and strips that were 3 inches by .75 inches. We did black but you can use whatever color. 🙂

2. Then we hot glued the strips into circles. Then we put that circle on the bottom of our square and added to dabs of hot glue and held it there until it dried.

FOR THE STRAWS:

And to make the straws we just hole punched a hole in the middle of the square before we added the circle underneath it. The straw fit in it just perfectly!

I can’t wait to graduate and sing the songs we’ve been practicing. We are singing 3 of them – You are My Sunshine, Planting Seeds, and Start Spreading the News. It’s going to be awesome!!

Hope you like this idea!

Love, Lily

  1. I don’t think you did 3 inch strips for the 2.5 inch hats. 3 inches is way to short for that big of a top. I’m trying it now and having to modify my strip length

  2. Lily I am so glad that you had fun with Ester Lily I teach 2nd grade and we made gak in class for a class party and we made lots of colors and you made turquoise and Gavin made green and Evie made hot pink that is fun and you are graduating from Kindergarten and that is exciting that you are going to 1st grade I want to make these 2 when my daughter is graduating from 8th grade and 6th grade on the last day of school

  3. Super cute! My daughter is graduating this year. I can’t wait to make some!

  4. Hi,
    I was wondering where you order your tall cupcake liners? Also, do you order cupcake boxes from the same place?
    Thank you for your help!
