I've had this $1 candle holder for a couple of months now. I was originally planning to spruce it up to hold the kid's toothbrushes until I found something else to use.
I noticed the box od neon straws on the counter and knew exactly what I'd use this thing for.

Using glue gun, I secured some pretty ribbon around the top. Next, I created a tulle rosette and hot glued that as well. Using the Cricut font Alphalicious, I cut out my word onto some vinyl.
Filled with straws and there you have it.

So simple and easy!
My daughter thinks it's the cutest thing ever.. I have to agree! :)
