Zebra themed chocolate dipped Rice Krispies Treats with hot pink bling sticks - cute party idea - no bake treat

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.

Bagged and added a zebra ribbon. Ribbon purchased from Micheal's craft store.

I absolutely love these bling treat sticks.

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

We hosted a red carpet/movie star themed event and everything HAD to be extra fancy.
I will say that this detail was talked about the most.

They were really easy to make and everyone was so impressed.

What you need to make bling treat sticks:

bling ribbon or diamond wrap

4" paper or lollipop sticks

hot glue gun and glue sticks

The ribbon and sticks were both purchased at Michael's. I found the bling ribbon in so many colors. Perfect way to match a color or party theme.
I also found some at Dollar Tree but it's 1" instead of 3/4".

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.

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

I started several to make sure the hot glue had time to set.

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!

I found these cute mini squares Rice Krispies Treats that came 32 to a box for under $5.

I love how they turned out.

I love these bling lanyards but I only had 3 leftover from past teacher appreciation gifts - Sparkle tags, Pink Ribbon gifts, and more Sparkle tags.

Bummed I don't have enough for this event.

I made the tags double sided gold glitter photo on the back. Attached with double sided tape.

I thought about buying black office lanyards with clips but they weren't fancy enough.
It's a red carpet event after all.

I decided to make my own!!!

I bought 3 rolls of gold ribbon at Micheal's for $4.99 each and used a 40% off coupon. Each roll had 10 yards and made 10 lanyards with a little bit of ribbon left.

I used an award metal my son received as a template for approximate measurement. I also wanted to copy how it was put together.

I purchased 50 gold jewelry loops for $2.99. I ended up not liking the split rings since they scratched the tags when trying to attach. I bought single jewelry rings about the same size. Just bend to open and bend back. 120 (mix of large and small) for $3.99.

I didn't want to get the sewing machine out so I tried to hand sew the ribbon but that wasn't happening. The metallic strands just came apart. Then I tried hot glue but it just peeled off.

OKAY. Plan C.

I tried super glue. Lol. FINALLY that worked.

I applied the super glue at an angle. I didn't take a pic of the glue but marked on the photo the angle I applied it.

Let dry.

Cut along the angle, just before the line of super glue.

Open ribbon so it makes a V shape.

Take the end and fold it over.

This makes the flap that attaches the ring.

I used super glue to attach and held in place with a clothes pin until dry.

One down and 6 more drying. I let the glue dry over night but I'm sure you could work on them sooner.

I added one more ring on the VIP tag and attached the two rings.
Again, I didn't like the split rings on the tags. They attach like key rings and it scratched the top of the tag. I'll take a picture of the new rings and update.
