Celebrate their next birthday with personalised photo straws made using their own face. Choose 18, 21, 30 or another age, pick a party hat and I’ll add the birthday number to the hat.
The design can also be made for younger teen birthdays, with soft-drink styling for those celebrations. Choose a current photo or a favourite throwback image, and match the hat and straw colours to the party. All example ages can be changed.
MAKE THEM YOUR OWN
Choose plain white, a colour or metallic finish, or a mixed set shown in the straw pages. Add your hat or accessory code in personalisation, or write “No hat” for a simple photo-head design. If adding wording, include the exact text, font number and preferred text colour.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Your selected number of paper straws and personalised, pre-cut photo head toppers. Photo heads are approximately 2 inches (5 cm); the overall shape varies with the photo and selected hat.
DIY kit: pre-cut photo heads, paper straws and sticky tabs supplied separately for you to assemble.
Ready to use: photo heads already attached to the paper straws.
Glasses, drinks and table decorations shown are styling props. The images show example designs; your order is made using the photos and details you send me.
PACK SIZES AND PHOTO CHOICES
6 straws — 1 face
12 or 24 straws — 1–2 different faces
50 straws — 1–5 different faces
100+ straws — 1–10 different faces
Repeated copies of the same photo count as one face. Send me a message for larger quantities or help choosing your photos.
HOW TO ORDER
1. Select your pack size, DIY or ready-to-use option and straw colour.
2. Enter your hat code, any age or wording, font number if needed and event date in personalisation. For multiple photos, tell me which hat belongs with each face and how many copies you would like.
3. Send your photo through Etsy messages after ordering. A clear, well-lit original photo with the whole head visible works best. I’ll remove the background.
4. I’ll send a design proof for you to check before printing, then prepare your personalised set.
PROOFS AND TIMING
I usually send your proof within 1–5 days once I have your photo and all the details needed. Please check your Etsy messages and reply within 24 hours. If I don’t hear back, I may proceed with the proof as sent to help keep your order moving.
Please check the estimated delivery window on the listing. If you need your straws for a particular date, message me before ordering so I can confirm whether I can meet it. Delivery time is separate from preparing your personalised design.
Keep the printed photo toppers above the drink and dry.
Designed and made by me, Nicola, at Making To Create. Thank you for letting my small business be part of your celebration!
