Uncle Sam's Straw DIY- Paint the Gown Red

It’s here! The moment you’ve all been waiting for…since yesterday. The one the only, Uncle Sam’s Straw! Sip sip hooray! Are these not the cutest patriotic straws you ever did see? I can’t wait to pop one into a chilled glass of stars and stripes sangria next weekend. Really I can’t wait. I’ve already tested both and you’ll be happy to know, these straws are the perfect means to sangria in your mouth. Oh bow-tiful.
