These adorable cocktail stirrers are made of 1/8in thick acrylic. The chosen length starts at the beginning of the top line of text, in most examples it starts at the beginning of the T in THE. The max length of your stick will be 1 inch longer than the size you purchase. Example, if you purchase a 4in stick with long text up top the the longest your stick will be is 5 inches. Longer text (top or bottom) needs to be on 6in sticks or there will be very little room at the bottom of your stick for your drink and it will result with your text being under liquid in your cup.
