Craftibilities: DIY

Look at this super cute Halloween wreath!!

I just love Dollar Tree for holiday signs and crafting supplies. I recently found 18" wreath frames!! Usually they only sell 14" so I was super excited.

Supplies

Deco mesh (5.5")

Wreath form (18")

Ribbon

Sign

Chenille stems/sticks or pipe cleaners

Wire cutters

Scissors

Ruler

Ribbon from Michael's. 2 1/2" black glitter and orange and black stripes. 1 1/2" black ribbon.

Frame, sign, and deco mesh from Dollar Tree.

This black and white striped mesh was found in Christmas and not Halloween.

I usually roll the mesh like on the Halloween table centerpiece and summer wreath I made. This time I cut the mesh 17" long and made little butterfly bunches.

Roll ends and flip over.

Bunch together in the center.

Cut chenille stems 4" or longer if you want and secure in the middle.

See! It looks like a butterfly.

Now make a bunch!

I made 48 total.

I attached all the chenille stems on the center ring in each section.

The sign was thin so I used a piece of wood attached with hot glue before stapling the chenille stems. I attached 3 on the back of the sign and added a little hot glue to secure the staple.

I removed the rope hanger and used the chenille stems to secure the sign to the metal wreath form.

6' loops with a 5' tail. I made loops and twisted in the middle before making my next loop.

I unfortunately don't have great pics of the bow because that black glitter was EVERYWHERE!!!

It's pretty but pretty messy.

Dovetail cut on the ends of each ribbon.

I made these for our Red Carpet themed bingo a couple years ago and they were such a big hit. I decided to try a zebra print theme this time.

Bling sticks are great for dipped marshmallows, Rice Krispies Treats, candy apples, lollipops, Oreos, cake pops, or any treat on a stick.

What you need to make bling treat sticks:

Bling ribbon or diamond wrap

4" paper or lollipop sticks

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

I searched Amazon for diamond ribbon and found several sizes and colors.

When measuring make sure you leave enough space at the end of the stick to add the treat.

I used 4" sticks and counted 13 faux rhinestones of ribbon.

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.

Add hot glue to the first row and place the stick.

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.

DONE!

What you need to make the zebra themed treats:

Mini Squares Rice Krispies Treats

Black and white Candy Melts

Wilton icing tip #1 or #2

Melt candy melts and dip the stick just to cover the very end.

Insert into Rice Krispies Treats and let dry.

Melt candy melts and dip.

Let dry. You can place in the fridge for 3-5 mins.

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.
