Make This: DIY Stainless Steel Drinking Straws

That's why I was excited to come up with a great gift project for those that want to ditch the cheap plastic in their classy mixed drinks. These simple straws are hefty enough to really stand out as a stocking stuffer, or on their own as a solid holiday gift.   … Continue reading on ManMadeDIY.com
