Get the gang together for a nostalgic trip back to the 90s. Cut ears from felt and attach them to a hoodie with hot glue. Cut a heart-shaped tag from red cardstock. Punch a hole at the edge and tie it around your neck using red ribbon. For an extra authentic look, cover the tag in clear contact paper so it doesn’t lose value (wink wink!). Pair your getup with oversized round sunglasses to complete the look.

Dress up as your favorite signature cocktails! Trace the outline of a rainbow-type shape on a thin clear acrylic sheet. Paint a thin coat on the plastic, leaving the top five inches paint-free. Allow the paint to dry. Attach velcro to the overlapping section and wear the cone loosely around your neck.

To create an olive cocktail, blow up two small green balloons and cut out two small red circles out of felt. Attach them to the top side of the balloon and tie both balloons to a dowel. Create espresso beans using floral foam rectangles and a serrated knife to mimic the bean shape. Create a deeper groove down the center and wipe off any dust with a paper towel. Paint the bean with brown acrylic paint and attach the beans to a headband with hot glue once dry. To create a lime, cut a circle out of dark green craft paper and attach it onto a larger green decorative paper fan with hot glue. Cut a slit where the fan opens to resemble a lime on the edge of a glass.

Regardless of how you feel about them style-wise, you have to admit Crocs are one of the most iconic shoes out there. On a sheet of cardboard, trace the outline of a Crocs shoe. Cut out the shape using an X-Acto knife or box cutter. Cut one large hole in the upper center for your face, and add seven smaller holes around it. Cut another strip out of cardboard and fold the edges to create a 3D strap. Paint your Croc and strap with craft paint (you might need a few coats!), and then attach your strap to the back of the shoe using hot glue. Outline your Croc with a darker or lighter shade of paint to make it pop, and use felt, craft foam or paper to create your Jibbitz. Once all your pieces are hot glued together, attach backpack-style straps to the back of the shoe with thick ribbon and hot glue. P.S.: Don't forget to wear your favorite pair of Crocs!
