These sippers do double duty as name tag stands. Simply stamp a guest's name on a small paper circle, then glue it on top of a larger, boldly patterned circle, and tape to the straw.

Potluck Napkin

Create a permanent pattern with fabric paint. Because cotton absorbs more pigment than paper, make sure to fully coat your stamp before pressing it onto the cloth.
