The ocean always calls my name. The Caribbean in me always pulls to the water. Living in sunny South Florida, there is no shortage of opportunities for me to head the calling and indulge in our water activities. That is one of the many reasons I love Moana. Inspired by her water adventures, we are making a Tiki Drink Umbrella DIY with the kids.
Moana Inspired Tiki Drink Umbrella DIY
With this Moana Inspired Tiki Drink Umbrella DIY, you will get into cool, chill and zen mode in no time. Not only is it relaxing to do this easy craft, it is also an open invitation to get your ahhhhhhh time in. Ready to sip with this tiki style?
Materials
- glue
- wooden skewers
- cardboard rounds
- wrapping tissue paper
- scissors
Procedure:
- Cut a triangle out of your cardboard round
- Make a cone out of the cardboard and glue the ends.
- Cut the tissue paper into 1-inch rectangular strips. Fring the ends of each strip.
- Glue the fringed tissue paper on the cardboard cone. Start from the bottom up.
- Repeat the process until you reach the tip of the cone. Use shorter strips at the tip of the cone.
- Turn the cone over and dab a drop of glue to the interior tip and stick the skewer there. Hold it for a few minutes.
You can choose to use long skewers to make them into stirrers. Or insert them into longer straws for added color fun for your drink!
These tiki drink umbrellas are the perfect complement to our Hawaiian Luau Glass Skirt bottles 🙂 Great pairing, don’t you agree?
Maybe you want to also make some starfish hair pins to go with the celebration. Get directions for that here

Such a cute idea. I can’t wait to see this movie since we missed it in the theaters.
How fun! We really love this movie. I’ll have to make this with my daughter.
The ocean calls my name also! We are currently on vacation at the beach. Love the tutorial, gonna have to try it for out 4th of July party…
How creative! What a fun craft for the kiddies, or the kids at heart? haha! 😉 I need to go see this movie too – I have been meaning to for the longest time!
I have not seen Moana but the ideas sound pretty inviting. Great post. Thanks for sharing.
Cute little project. I love tiki as well and made my own backyard tiki bar. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during hurricane Mathew that came through here in SC last season. As soon as I get to my new place, I’ll be replacing the tiki bar… one good think to note, I dud bit lose the contents of the bar.
I still haven’t seen Moana and it’s crazy coz every one else has. ? Very cute DIY. Will give it a try sometime.
How cute are these umbrella drinks! This is perfect for a Luau party, makes me want to go on a Hawaiian vacation.
What a fun activity for the kids to do on weekend. Spring is fast approaching and of course, summer is just around the corner for this beach umbrella.
I really enjoyed watching Moana! I think she’s an awesome addition to the list of Disney Princesses! She’s amazing and she empowers young girls! I love this tiki drink umbrella! It’s adorable!
Now, isn’t this a lovely DIY to make for the kids especially this summer when you’re having a picnic or a barbecue. I love how easy it is to make! I can’t believe that Moana has a DVD, it seems just like yesterday when it was shown in the theaters.
What a super cool idea! I can’t wait to see the movie again.
Very cute! Looks easy too!
So creative! And so cute! I really like this creation!
Oh my, your DIY made me smile. Its so cool! Perfect for summer and for girls outdoor party 🙂 I love it!
