3. DIY Mini Tequila Shots

Get party-ready with cute Pinterest-inspired mini tequila shots! Create this easy DIY project in three steps. You’ll need:

Supplies

Instructions

1. Remove the cork top from each favor jar and begin drilling a small hole in each.

DIY Tip: Begin with a small drill bit and drill a small hole first. Then, use a larger size bit to make the hole large enough for the paper straw to fit. Using a larger drill bit first may cause the cork to break in half.

2. Cut the paper straws at the right length and adhere personalized flags. Place straws in cork tops.

3. Fill your mini glass jars with prepared margarita mix or simply pour your favorite tequila in each for a personalized tequila shot!
