Upsy Daisy Pedestal Server

Happy hour will be full of cheer when you spring for a round of drinks on this tall, cool pedestal server. Its happy-go-lucky looks are just right for a garden party, warm weather luncheon, Mother’s Day get-together or a summery celebration with friends. Whip up some frothy Pineapple Fresca cocktails and raise your glasses high. Or set glasses of fresh daisies – or a single filled-to-the-brim vase – on top to give any room a lighthearted lift.

Here’s How:

1. Turn a large ceramic serving bowl upside down and hot-glue a matching cake pedestal on top. The base of the cake pedestal should be slightly smaller than the bottom of the bowl.

2. Place two narrow 12” green and yellow satin ribbons one on top of the other and tie the double ribbon around the stem of a cocktail goblet; clip the ends on a diagonal. Hot-glue a fabric daisy to the ribbon. Repeat to decorate as many goblets as you need.

3. Fill the goblets with Pineapple Fresca cocktails and serve on the pedestal.
