Craftibilities: black & white

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.

What a fun idea for a hot pink & zebra themed party!

Years ago we made a striped cake that was red, white, and blue and thought this would be perfect to make zebra cupcakes.

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.

Add black food color to the dark chocolate fudge.

Mix well to blend the food color.

Fill ziplock bags with each batter.

Cut off a small corner of the bag to control the fill.

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.

Fill the center with the classic white batter.

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.
