I have heard people have trouble with printing from an iPad or phone. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>What size do they print?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can print 3ft, 4ft, 5ft or larger. Adjust the percentage to get the size you want. The dimensions are shown above the preview on the print screen. Note that dimensions are of all the pages and not cut out. For example, I print 5ft but after cut out the numbers will stand about 4 1/2ft tall. I wouldn't recommend printing smaller than 3ft so you can fit the balloons. <a href="https://youtu.be/BiMIvcjIIEw " target="_blank">This video has the best printing instructions</a>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BiMIvcjIIEw" width="320" youtube-src-id="BiMIvcjIIEw"></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Is there a way skip printing the blank sheets with the template?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you don't click on cut marks or labels the pages will be blank.

What a fun idea for a hot pink & zebra themed party!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504663-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="398" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504663-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Years ago we made a <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2014/09/cake-with-chocolate-art-school-project.html" target="_blank">striped cake that was red, white, and blue</a> and thought this would be perfect to make zebra cupcakes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used dark chocolate fudge and classic white box mix. I recommend the directions exactly for consistency. I changed the recipe a little with an extra egg, milk, and butter but the batter was a little thick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504782-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504782-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504785-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504785-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add black food color to the dark chocolate fudge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504816-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="470" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504816-4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mix well to blend the food color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504853-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504853-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fill ziplock bags with each batter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504895-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504895-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut off a small corner of the bag to control the fill.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504697-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504697-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Squeeze dark chocolate fudge batter in the center of the baking cup and pinch the corner of the ziplock bag. Switch to the next color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504696-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504696-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fill the center with the classic white batter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504710-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504710-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Continue alternating colors. Each time adding the next color into the center. My batter was a little thick so I tapped the baking tray on the counter to get the layers to spread. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504745-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="432" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975504745-3.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NOTE: If I made them again, I would make the layers thicker by adding more of each color batter when alternating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I hosted a luau themed bingo a few years ago and made these fun <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2018/06/how-to-dipped-oreos-in-a-mold.html" target="_blank">dipped Oreos</a>. I thought they would be perfect for a hot pink & zebra themed party. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How to make tutorial <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2018/06/how-to-dipped-oreos-in-a-mold.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975872532-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975872532-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used candy melts, Oreo cookies, and a silicone baking mold to create the dipped cookies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to show extra details when making and decorating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why are my Oreos uneven?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871336-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="372" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871336-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This happens when using molds but can easily be fixed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871343-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871343-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take a warm pan and put pressure on the edges that are uneven. This works very quickly. Place Oreos on parchment paper after melting to prevent sticking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why are my Candy Melts too thick?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871364-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871364-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've had trouble working with candy melts you might need to add a little coconut oil. This will make the consistency perfect for dipping or decorating. I add 1-2 tsp after Candy Melts are melted and mix well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Do I need decorating bags and tips?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871346-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871346-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my <a href="https://amzn.to/2EXcl6N" target="_blank">12" decorating bags</a> and #2 Wilton tip to decorate but sometimes I'm in a rush and can't find them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871348-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871348-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't worry if you don't have decorating bags or tips. Ziplock bags work just fine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871376-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871376-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fill the ziplock bag with melted Candy Melts and seal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975918670-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="389" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975918670-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cut a very very small corner off with scissors. This cut will be similar to the decorating tip size. Start small and cut larger if needed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871384-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871384-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See! Looks the same!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually mixed a bunch of sprinkles together for decorating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871415-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3975871415-3.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drizzled and add the sprinkles. Work fast before it dries.</div>

I love how easy this craft was to make. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E7XT35E/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00E7XT35E&linkCode=as2&tag=craftibilit02-20&linkId=cb76d9ebedaf06825eb257449c9e9886" target="_blank">this decorative aluminum sheet on Amazon</a>. I comes is so many designs but I decided on the 12" x 24" elliptical design. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the dremel to cut the sheet to fit the inside of the frame 12"x18" but it was just a tiny bit too wide and long. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I origninally wanted to attach the back of the frame and covered with skull wallpaper from the <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2014/10/diy-wallpaper-filing-cabinet-makeover.html" target="_blank">filing cabinet makeover</a> and <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2019/10/elegant-halloween-themed-wedding-centerpiece.html" target="_blank">Halloween wedding centerpieces</a>. You could't see the awesome skull pattern so I ended up leaving the back open. This worked out better and I can easily attach the backs of a stud or earrings with a post.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I attached the aluminum sheet to the frame with hot glue.</div>

I made these for our <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2018/11/diy-fancy-bling-treat-sticks.html" target="_blank">Red Carpet themed bingo</a> a couple years ago and they were such a big hit. I decided to try a zebra print theme this time. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman";">Bling sticks are great for dipped marshmallows, Rice Krispies Treats, candy apples, lollipops, Oreos, cake pops, or any treat on a stick.</span></div>

What you need to make bling treat sticks:</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bling ribbon or diamond wrap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4" paper or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=craftibilit02-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=156f3e12f567b97e020f7346a7648b37&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=kitchen&keywords=lollipop%20sticks" target="_blank">lollipop sticks</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=craftibilit02-20&l=ur2&o=1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hot glue gun and glue sticks</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I searched Amazon for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&tag=craftibilit02-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=e0208ccd6f22e434483c402601a69f6d&camp=1789&creative=9325&index=arts-crafts&keywords=diamond%20ribbon" target="_blank">diamond ribbon</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=craftibilit02-20&l=ur2&o=1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> and found several sizes and colors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When measuring make sure you leave enough space at the end of the stick to add the treat.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3969496873-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="435" data-original-width="580" src="https://www.elenareidphotography.com/img/s/v-10/p3969496873-3.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used 4" sticks and counted 13 faux rhinestones of ribbon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found this 1" bling ribbon at Dollar Tree. The other ribbon I used was 3/4" so I needed to trim a row off lengthwise. The width only needs to be four faux rhinestones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Add hot glue to the first row and place the stick. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next add hot glue to the last row and roll the stick until the first and last row are touching. Gently press to down to secure the hot glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
DONE!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Melt black candy melts and draw zebra lines. I started with Wilton tip #3 and it was way too large. I move down to a #2 tip but I think the #1 will give you more control to make thinner lines. </div>

I made a <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2020/08/hanging-snack-holder-organization-idea.html" target="_blank">hanging snack holder</a> for the dorm that was a surprise. It was packed already filled with snacks so he was thrilled when the rows of all his favorites were unfolded. He thought it was the best idea and it fit perfectly on the inside door of his closet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What he doesn't know is that I left two more surprises for him to find later. </div>

I don't know how it's possible but I'm sending my teenager to college in one week!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm packing and getting everything ready for next weekend. *mini panic attack just typing that*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a fun snack holder using a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2JICUM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01N2JICUM&linkCode=as2&tag=craftibilit02-20&linkId=412d97ddc1532727a17222cd27e7a112" target="_blank">mesh pocket organizer</a> from Amazon. It's suppose to hold shoes but I think it would be perfect for organizing the pantry too. We have a folding door on our pantry or I would've bought another one. </div>

They also had a plastic one but I figured it would get dirty inside the pockets and hard to clean. Mesh seemed better for that reason.</div>

He's the type kid that will eat three meals but is also a big snacker. </div>

I made <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2020/07/flower-seed-bead-bracelet-basic-stitch.html" target="_blank">seed bead bracelets</a> recently and went down memory lane on how I loved making crafts as a kid. I used to make bracelets with fish tank tubing, air connectors, and filled with seed beads. The connectors never fit right but I found some tubing that fits the connectors perfectly!!</div>

I found the tubing at Home Depot and the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0859BTT5B/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0859BTT5B&linkCode=as2&tag=craftibilit02-20&linkId=110527b73013c611d2b57a43757a827a" target="_blank">connectors on Amazon</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to order the tubing online but it had small black writing with the product info all over the tubing. That doesn't make for pretty bracelets.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found these multi color packages of tube glitter at Dollar Tree for only $1!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The SAME EXACT glitter (and so much less) would be $12 at Michael's for three colors.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a paper type funnel for the tube glitter since it's so chunky. It does get stuck so you have to tap the tube with a pencil to get it to move down. You may need to squeeze gently and tap again. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Insert the connector in the other end of the tube and you're done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You could add some glue but I had a hard time pulling the bracelet apart without glue.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fine glitter is definitely easier to fill than the tube glitter. I tried cutting a tiny piece off the corner of the glitter package to fill. It worked out okay but very slow.</div>

I didn't have a glitter/craft funnel but this worked perfectly! I had the idea when I was filling the <a href="http://www.craftibilities.com/2019/01/mini-glass-jar-pendants.html" target="_blank">mini fairy jars with glitter</a>. Wilton cake decorating tip #5. Lol!</div>

Tap the tube to get the glitter to move down. Close and you are done. </div>

With so many different types of glitter the creative opportunities are endless. </div>

So I was looking for something and came across an old daisy chain that was from when I was 8 years old. It's broken and falling apart but I remember how much I loved making them. Then I remembered that my Mom (huge crafter) had some seed beads she gave me back in February. "Let's see if I still can make one" and this is when I forget entirely what I was looking for and started making <strike>one</strike> two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They are pretty easy to attach. Just pull the protective plastic off the back little by little to expose the sticky side of the tape. Work in small lengths since it's really sticky and you don't the strip to stick to another part of the strip.</div>

It's a little hard to get the strip to slide under the metal prongs since the back is sticky. I rubbed the area to make it less sticky and kept trying until I got it fully under the prongs. I did try to leave the protective plastic on but it's too thick to fit.</div>

Do the same for the other side. Make sure to match up the G, R, B. Also, before you continue to place the strip, cycle through all the colors. If one is not connected right you'll know before you attach the strip to the wall. I am speaking from experience. :/</div>

It turned out so cool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NOTE: The brightness fades on each additional strip you add. We connected three strips and the 3rd strip is visibly lighter but only on some colors. White is the most noticeable. You can hardly tell on the main colors or when it fades colors.</div>

We did try a 4th strip and it was a drastic change in brightness. We had to start a new connection at the base. (Two are provided for each plug)</div>

One strip starts at the base of his dresser and goes to the right around the door, up the wall, and around the ceiling. The second strip starts at the base of the dresser and goes left behind the dresser, around the door, up the wall and ends at the strip on the ceiling. The two that meet on the ceiling are not connected to each other. </div>

We ended up ordering 3 boxes and going around his ceiling and down the wall and around two doors. There was a little left over and we used it around the TV. </div>

One remote will work all the strips no matter how many you have connected or new strips. You might need to be closer to the sensor if you have multiple plugs with sensors. We only used one plug (two connectors) for everything on the walls. We did use a second plug for the small area on his tv.</div>

It's very soothing to watch the colors fade. </div>

It takes 3 foam boards for the back or base of each letter. </div>

I used the A to measure how much to cut off the bottom of the U and S. This worked out perfect to make the bottom flat to allow it to stand up. Double check it because I think my U still looks taller than the S. </div>

Balloon placement but not attached yet. I'm trying a low temp hot glue gun this time. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
UPDATE:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The low temp glue gun is so much better. The balloons do not move. It does take a bit of time to wait for each one to dry and you have to watch out for glue strings. I don't think I'll use glue dots anymore.</div>

I love sending little care packages. I found these monogram boxes at Michael's a while back. I decided these would be cute for my Mom, MIL, and all my aunts for their birthdays or Mother's day. I only have one aunt left that I'll mail later this year. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
