Lego Cupcakes

To celebrate my sons' birthday at school I made lego cupcakes for their classroom and all the kids in the class LOVED them, they were a HUGE hit!

Here is how I made them:  First I found these chocolate molds of lego bricks and minifigures on ebay, then I used Wilton colored chocolate (yellow,red and green) I melted the chocolate using the microwave and poured the chocolate in the molds and let them set up in the freezer over night.  After that I found these cute cupcake liners ( pictured below) at Michael's. 

After all my chocolate was set up I made my cupcakes and frosted them with vanilla icing and topped them each with a chocolate minifigure or lego brick.  They were super easy to make and super cute!!!

Birthday Balloon Wreath

For my son's 9th birthday I decided to make this balloon wreath that I saw online at pinterest ( don't you just love that website)  To make this easy wreath you will need the following:

-A straw wreath ( I found this one at michael's and used a 40% coupon)

-Balloons, this wreath took about 13 bags of 25 balloons found at the Dollar Tree

-Pins, I used regular straight pens or you can use floral pins ( but they are pretty expensive an you will need a lot to complete this wreath)

-Pipe cleaners for some extra decoration ( Optional)

(Wreath making supplies)

After you gather your supplies simply place the unblown balloons on the balloon with the pins and continue until the wreath is covered and this is what you end up with :

Candy Bar Reindeer and Snowmen

I have been busy lately with holiday crafts and here is just one of them that I finished yesterday..... Reindeer Candy Bars for my son's classroom holiday party.

I took the small snack size hershey bars and wrapped them in brown card stock ( on sale at michael's for .25 a sheet) Then I used a 1 inch circle cutter for the nose and 8mm size eyes all glued on and finally the antlers I used a darker card stock paper and cut them out by hand.   I did see where someone used a circuit but I don't have one:(  I am sure that would have been much easier and faster but I think mine came out just fine.  I hope the kids enjoy them!

I also made snowmen candy bars for the teachers.  They are made the same way except I wrapped a "normal" size hershey bar and wrapped them in white card stock.  Then I took some fleece and glued it around the top and tied it at the top.  After that I took some more fleece and made a scraf and then added some eyes ( beads) and used a marker to draw the face and nose.

Mario and Luigi Halloween Costume Hats

Last year my twin boys wanted to be Mario and Luigi for Halloween so I thought it would be a super easy costume to make. I found this tutorial HERE on how to make the hats. After I made the hats all I had to do was get plain green and red t-shirts ( I found mine on sale at Michael's) overalls, boots, gloves and a mustache ( which didn't stay on very long) and there you have it Mario and Luigi.
