Are you on pinterest? Well, about a month or so ago, one of my friends pinned a cute little candy bar wrapped in brown paper to look like a reindeer. I thought it was cute but didn't really have a use for it. Last week, my daughter's teacher posted a sign-up list for their holiday party. The first item on the list was drinks and a light bulb went off. Hey! I could make drink boxes like those candy bars. I couldn't remember who pinned it and I couldn't find it again. So, I improvised. The original just wrapped a brown piece of paper around a Hershey bar, cut out brown and red circles for noses and black and white circles for eyes then add pipe cleaner antlers. I decided to use some bronze foil wrapping paper I got from Hobby Lobby. I also decided to use oval-shaped googly eyes instead of paper. For the nose I used red glitter paper. The only problem I had was that nothing really stuck to the foil paper. I use double-sided photo stickers for just about every project but they were too easy to remove from the paper. I ended up using hot glue. No biggie. The last time I decorated drink boxes I used pop-up stickers to attach the straws back onto the box but I just used hot glue for that too and it was perfect! Oh just don't forget to punch a hole through your paper where the straw will go. I thought they were so cute I ended up making extra for a party we were invited to. Hope you like them!
So cute! I think it was me who originally pinned it! I was going to make the candy bar ones for Masyns school for their Christmas party but there are 28 kids in her class! That would have been too expensive. I wished I had thought of the juice boxes!
