It’s the little touches that really set a party over the top! Here is the inspiration for this project, Seahorse Straw Decor. These were made using a 12×12″ sheet of aqua glitter scrapbook paper (cardstock is preferred) and my Cricut Explore machine.

See instructions below.

Open up http://www.cricut.com/design. Login and create a new project

Click on upload image

Use the basic upload function

Upload your image (search sea horse on Google and take your pick)

Click on the white to knock out the background

Select the seahorse icon to insert onto canvas

Copy and paste until you have the number you need.

Be sure to select CUT not PRINT (default)

Click the Cricut Go Button

Feed in your paper and select the thickness. I chose poster board

Watch as it cuts your design

Use the included tools or a razor knife to gently separate the paper.

Finally, use paper straws (purchased from Michaels for $1.00) and a hot glue gun. Place one dot of glue near the head of the seahorse and wrap the tail around the straw. Place in cup and enjoy!
