You can’t find a simpler way to spice up a drink than by popping a drink umbrella into it. Paper Parasols are indeed one of the more popular party supplies and why not? They are fun and colorful and give even the most ordinary of drinks like a glass of orange juice an instant cool tropical look. No party is complete without them especially if its one with a Caribbean or a Hawaiian theme.

If you are good with your hand and like a little art and craft then you could actually make some drink umbrellas on your own at home. All you need is some colored paper (origami paper works best), some glue, a pair of scissors and some plastic skewers. They are really easy to do and can make for a nice little, fun, project for the family.

If you are too lazy for that sort of stuff then there is whole range of drink umbrellas available in stores and they come pretty cheap too; so they can fit into the budget of any party. Shop around and you will find stylized ones that fit different themes too though these might cost a bit more. You can try out the closeouts or discounts sections of online stores for some good bargains on parasols.

Now that you have your drink umbrellas, pair them up with some cool, colorful straws and maybe a slice of lemon or orange and voila… you have yourself some pretty looking cocktails for your party.
