Thank you so much to Lisa for writing this guest post for us.  She’s an expert when it comes to making DIY paper products, and ingenious ideas on the cheap.  We asked her to give us some frugal ideas for you all to enjoy and here’s what she came up with!  Make sure you check out Lisa’s blog when you get a chance!

How many of you remember the craze of Soda Fountains? Raspberry Flips, Pink Sodas and Patio Punch Soda’s were all the rage. Well, here is a fun, frugal way to give an Italian Cream Soda to go as a gift.

This can be given as a shower gift, a graduation gift {teenagers love these!}, a birthday gift, used as fun party decor etc.

They are great baby shower gifts as well. It is fun for the Momma-to-be to be able to take something home for the rest of the family or hubby to enjoy as well. You could even include a gift certificate for a pizza to be enjoyed on a day where cooking is not at the top of the “to do” list.

These Italian Cream Soda gifts are very fun to embelish. You can use colors or a theme to customize the gift.

As mentioned before we are talking FRUGAL, so I made mine for under $10.00.
white gift bag: .79 {Party Depot}
2 12×12 sheets of scrapbook paper: $1.00 {Paper Zone}
napkins: $1.00
straws: $1.00 at the Dollar Store {on hand}
cups: $1.00 {the Dollar Store}
Torani Syrup: $3.99 {Cash-n-Carry}
Club Soda: .87 with deposit {Winco}

Ribbon I had on hand.

DIRECTIONS

Club Soda:
Cut scrapbook paper into 6×6 square.
Remove label from Club Soda.
Glue 6×6 sheet on to Club Soda bottle being sure to cover any leftover residue from original label.

Drink Tags:
Use any size craft punch and punch drink tags out of scrap paper from cutting down your 6×6 sheet of paper.
Punch a small hole with a regular sized hole punch for straw.

Straws:
Place a handful of straws into standard cellophane bag or tie together with ribbon.

Italian Cream Soda Label:
Cut second sheet of 12×12 paper into 8 1/2X11.
Print label with Italian Soda directions.

I can e-mail you my document if you would like!

I put enough for 8 into each package, but always more straws. They are inexpensive and fun to have extras.

Suggestions if you are NOT on a budget:
Add a glass straw dispenser with colorful straws
Add cookies or biscotti to carry the Italian theme.
Add an ISI whipped cream maker…you get the idea!

Enjoy!
