Oh my goodness!!!

My YouTube hit 10K subscribers and I couldn't be more thrilled!!!

I appreciate the love on all my socials! You guys are so amazing!

I've had such a hard last four months and you don't know what all the support means to me.

Thank you so much!!!

I used the same #10 from a luau themed birthday party and now have the letter K available.

Have questions? Frequently Asked Questions

I used my favorite 7" Chrome balloons by Qualatex

7" Qualatex Chrome Balloons - 100 pack

7" Qualatex Chrome Balloons - 50 pack

For the purple balloons I purchased a purple garland kit.

This is the best best quality garland kit I've purchased. The balloons are so pretty and great quality. I didn't pop one balloon!

The kit came with:

100 - 12" balloons

30 - 5" balloons

3 - 18" balloons (I didn't use)

Plus 16ft garland balloon strip and glue dots

Everything was in the kit except the 7" chrome balloons.

The balloons that look black were a pretty dark purple.

I used 230 balloons to fill the 1, 0, & K.

100 - 7" Chrome balloons

100 - 12" balloons from the kit.

30 - 5" balloons from the kit.

I actually could've used more 5" balloons to fill in the smaller gaps.

5" balloons with 1 pump of air. I love the metallic purple!!

So excited!!!!

I like to fill the number frames with 12" balloons first to figure out spacing. I always need more balloons then I think....always!!!

Thank you again!!!

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.
