Moustache Drink Topper

frameless | right | 250px | 
This idea was inspired by a Christmas holiday visit to California a few years ago. We came across some gag mustache toys at an old vintage shop in New York, and thought it would be fun to wear them for our holiday get-together. We have a large family and decided that when it came time to exchange gifts, everyone had to choose a mustache to wear and pose for a witty photo before opening a gift.Our families had a blast, and we reinterpreted this idea into our Mustache Drink Toppers. It’s always fun to play disguises, and children and adults alike are always amused with this lighthearted quip. We also discovered that these are a certified, guaranteed cure for the common case of camera shyness. These Mustache Drink Toppers set a playful mood for any party.

The mustache should be sitting right above the bend. Note: If not using a bendable straw, do not punch a hole in the middle of the mustache; instead, use a hot glue gun to attach the mustache to the front of the straight straw.Step Five: Finishing touches.
