I've made these umbrella holders that stick straight up from a low mug and keep dust off the swizzle sticks, rolled up napkins, straws, etc.

Just drill a tiny little narrow hole in a piece of thick off-cut wood and stand one of those gigantic Party City umbrellas up in it. Works great and looks cool. If the big umbrella gets dusty or faded, yank it out and insert a new one.

Why display them when you can use 'em?

Laytah.
