DIY Luna Lovegood Spectrespecs Straw Topper

Make your own Luna Lovegood straw topper using your favorite glitters and resin!

Harry Potter is one of my favorite things, and Luna Lovegood is one of my favorite characters. She's quirky, unique, and keeps things interesting.  I've been keeping my favorite tumbler with me to keep me cool in the hot weather, and decided to finally make a project that's been on my list: a spectrespecs straw topper! It stays on your straw to keep your cup recognizable, while at the same time showing off your favorite fandom!

This whole process was actually a fun experiment for me. I designed the spectrespecs to print on our 3D printer, then poured the Silicone Mold, and then created the resin piece you see here! I am really proud of myself and have been so excited to show you this project! I hope you love it as much as I do!!
