Why Stanley Cup Straw Toppers?
If you’re anything like me, Stanley Cups are a staple in your home. Whether it’s for water, iced tea, or the occasional iced coffee (mom fuel, am I right?), these cups are everywhere! It seems everyone has them regardless of age. My daughter’s friends in elementary school have them, and the high schoolers here collect alllll the colors, too. So fun. They’re practical, reusable, and just plain cute. So why not add a bit of Valentine’s Day flair to them with these easy-to-make straw toppers?
