Clever Way to Keep Bugs Out of Your Drinks

Summer time BBQ’s are awesome.  Bugs floating in your lemonade or vitamin water are not.  Luckily, with some mason jars, cupcake liners, and straws, you can totally keep the bugs out–all while amazing friends and neighbors–like a party throwing magician.

You’ll Need:

Cupcake liners
Paper Straws {or regular, but I like the paper ones}
Mason jar {I used pint sized}
Bands for the jar

Directions:

Brace yourself, these are complicated ;).  Starting with a mason jar, flip a cupcake liner upside down and place it over the mouth of the jar, screw the band carefully over the jar, holding the liner in place as you do.  Using a pen, or some other pointy object, poke a hole for the straw and then slide the straw into place.  I know, it’s rocket science.   You may have to read the directions more than once.

Now, go get your outdoor party on.
