I'm going to be teaching these fun make-n-takes at Bazaar Bizaare in SF next weekend, so I thought I would also share the steps here.
The materials for this project are very simple:
- Moustache Rub-ons
- Paper Striped Straws
- Light Colored or Clear Overlays (I used Grandmas Wallpaper)
- Staples/Stapler
- Glue Dots or other adhesive
Step 1: Cut your overlay into 6" x 1.25" Strips. Also cut apart the moustaches you want to use.
Step 2: Rub Moustaches on the right side of the Overlay & cut loosely around the moustache shape.
Here's what your moustache should look like. You want about a 2" strip on the left side of the moustache to wrap around the straw. Make sure that strip is about .625" tall so there is room for the staple.
Step 3: Place a glue dot on the straw (this way the moustache doesn't slip down the straw) and wrap the overlay around the straw and staple. (A long stapler works best, not the small one I have in the photo)
That's it! These are fun & easy to make. Perfect for your Holiday parties!!

I absolutely LOVE these moustaches. I will be throwing a vintage carnival party for my son this next year. What a perfect party favor! : )
Can you tell me where to purchase the paper striped straws? Any online recommendations?

Hi Amy,
I bought the kikkerland paper straws from www.urbanicpaper.com. The are a great little paper store in southern California. (send them an e-mail)
Also some sellers on Etsy have them as well, but just make sure to get the kikkerland brand (the other paper straws are too thin)

It would also be fun if the straw was in the middle of mustache so that it sorta looked like you had a mustache as you drink from the straw. Such a fun idea, thanks for sharing.
