Alaskan Fizzenberry Drink Station
Who says you need an actual bar to create a bar area? I don’t even own a real dining room table, so of course I didn’t splurge for a bar! I do have a card table and four tray tables. Amazingly enough, the tables are all the same height, and when covered, they look like a bar. If you are fortunate enough to have the same items at home, all you need is a corner, some extra hands and patience.
Materials:
15–20 paper drink umbrellas
Thread or ribbon
Tape
Card table
Tray table
Cheesy island tablecloth (optional)
Directions:
1. If you're using thread, tie a knot around the base of the umbrella. The umbrella should be upside down. If you're using ribbon, tie a knot around the base then wrap the ribbon around the pole of the umbrella. Once you reach the end, poke a hole into the ribbon with the end of the umbrella to keep the ribbon in place.
2. Apply tape to the opposite end of the thread/ribbon.
3. Adhere the taped end to the ceiling.
4. Repeat with varying lengths of thread/ribbon to create a staggered look in the area above your “bar.”
5. Set up your card table directly under your “raining umbrellas.”
6. Place one tray table length-wise next to your card table. Place the other tray table one behind the other in a line, so that they create an L shape with the card table.
7. Cover the tables with a tablecloth.
