Hi All!

I know it’s been awhile, things got a bit crazy around our house.  We had a family emergency and I had to rush out of town for a bit to help with that.  I am very happy to say that everyone is doing good once again and we are s-l-o-w-l-y getting back on track at home.  Doesn’t it always seem that every time you leave the house work seems to pile up like crazy?!?  The good new is I am finally making progress on that front too!

With everything going on I wanted to make something that was quick but also beautiful. After racking my brain for awhile I came up with these cute DIY Summer Citrus Drink Charms.  I hate whenever I’m at a get together and I loose my drink.  Well with the DIY Summer Citrus Drink Charms, thats no longer a problem!  Since you can make them in several different combinations it makes it easy to figure out what cup belong to each person.  And for a more personalized touch you can always write their names on the too!  Then there really is no confusion!

So are you ready to see how I made these adorable DIY Summer Citrus Drink Charms?  They are seriously super easy!

• Silhouette Machine
• Scrap book paper
• Glue Stick
• DIY Summer Citrus Drink Charms Cut File

I started by designing a simple cut file for my citrus shapes.  I had 2 different yellow colors and one that was a pinkish/orange.  So I decided to make lemon and grapefruit DIY Citrus Summer Drink Charms.

Once all my pieces were cut I matched them up and used a glue stick to attach the rind piece to the fruit piece.  Once that was done I used scissors to cut the the slash in my DIY Summer Citrus Drink Charms.

The only thing left to do was add them to my drinks and enjoy!

Thank you all so much for stopping by to check out my new DIY Summer Citrus Drink Charms and thank you for being patient with me!  I promise I’ll be posting more often!
