- Recollections Craft Punch Giant Scallop Circle (Available at Michael’s)
- Craft Paper
- Single Hole Punch
- Hot Glue
- Swizzle or stir sticks
- Pens, markers and/or pencils
Let’s Do It
Use the Recollections Craft Punch Giant Scallop Circle to cut circles from your craft paper of choice–choose a heavier weight paper to make your parasols more durable
Cut a single line along the radius of the circle
Use your single hole punch to make a hole in the center of your circle
Fold circle into a cone shape and place a dollop of glue to hold in place–pinch together until glue has set
Place the swizzle stick through the punched hole of your craft paper
On the underside of your parasol, place a dollop of hot glue where the paper and swizzle stick meet to keep your craft paper in place
