Add plastic wrap to a foam wreath completely covering then add to a platter.

I used one package of mini powdered donuts and two packages assorted glazed donut holes.

Begin to add the donut holes all over the top and sides by inserting toothpicks at an angle halfway. 

Then gently push the donut holes through the center of each toothpick.

Continue to add donut holes and fill in with the mini powdered donuts too on the top. 

Add donuts until completely covered. 

Optional: you can add a bow or ribbon to the center front of the wreath.

Serve right away or cover with plastic wrap to keep from going stale.

I recommend you serve the day or the day after you assemble.

This Dollar Store craft is one of my favorites! I made this wreath using a simple plastic heart and a bunch of artificial roses from The Dollar Tree . It can be a little tedious hot gluing the roses on but after you get the hang of it, it comes together rather quickly! The end result is a beautiful lighted rose wreath for Valentine’s Day! 

What You Need:

• 1 plastic heart tinsel covered sign 
• 8-10 bunches of artificial roses, any color
• 1 pack of string fairy lights
• hot glue
• wire cutters
• ribbon, optional

Directions: 

1. Start by unraveling and removing the tinsel and words from the plastic heart sign. You should just have the crisscross plastic heart frame left.
2. Now cut all the roses from the plastic stems so you just have a bunch of rose blossoms. 
3. Using the hot glue, add a couple dots to the back of the roses, then attach to the cross cross sections of the plastic heart.
4. Keep adding until it is fully covered in roses. 
5. Wrap the string of lights around the wreath. 
6. Optional: You can also glue on a ribbon loop on the top of the back for hanging.

Happy Fat Tuesday! 

This month has flown by and I almost forgot to share this cute Mardi Gras Wreath I crafted last week.

It cost me $5 in supplies from the Dollar Tree and took about 5 minutes to make! My kind of easy peasy craft, for sure!

Make one for your Mardi Gras decor or parties today too!

What you need:

• 2 Feather Boas {I used Mardi Gras colors}
• 1 package of plastic beaded necklaces
• 1 decorated Mardi Gras mask
• Foam round wreath frame
• hot glue
• ribbon, for hanging

Directions: 

1. Start by wrapping your boas around the foam wreath, covering completely.
2. Glue the ends of the boas on the back of the frame to secure.
3. Now glue on your mask to the front. I added mine to the bottom corner at an angle.
4. Finally add a few strands of beads across the center of the wreath and glue on the frame on both sides.
5. I used a small ribbon to loop across the top and tied in a bow to hang on my front door.
6. Happy Mardi Gras!

I just love these fun and festive feather boas from the Dollar Tree!

They were perfect for my Mardi Gras wreath and would make great party decor too!

This craft was made in minutes and looked so fun on my front door. 

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler {Let the good time roll}!

Hope you enjoy Mardi Gras 2020!

Betty Crocker Egg Nog Sugar Cookie Wreath

Makes approx 40 cookies

Ingredients

• 1 pouch 1 lb 1.5 oz Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix {I used Egg Nog flavor}
• 3 tbsp flour
• 1/2 cup butter{1 stick} melted
• 1 egg
• green food coloring/powder optional
• red decorating sanding sugar and candy beads optional
• leaf and bow shaped cookie cutters

Instructions

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, melted butter and egg until soft dough forms.
• On a floured surface, roll out a small portion of dough and cut out two bows using a bow cookie cutter.
• Gather dough scraps and combine with the rest of the dough.
• Sprinkle the bow shapes with red sanding sugar to cover and place on a line cookie sheet.
• Gather remaining sugar cookie dough into a ball and make a well in the center. Add green food color or color powder to the well and use hands {this may get messy} to knead color evenly into the dough.
• Place green dough on a floured surface and roll to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut leaf shapes, re-rolling dough as needed.
• On lined cookie sheets, place cutouts 1 inch apart.
• If you'd like you can use a toothpick to create veins on the leaves before baking.
• Bake 6 minutes or until edges are light golden brown.
• Remove from oven and immediately press one or two red candy beads on the leaves for the "berries".
• Cool for a few minutes then remove from cookie sheets and cool completely.
• Store cookies in tightly covered container.
• When ready to serve, create a wreath by arranging leaf cookies in a ring shape, overlapping some, on a round platter with the red bow cookie in the center.
• Note: I always bake two bow cookies so I have one as a back up. You can also create two smaller cookie wreaths with the two bows.
