St. Patties Bacon & Eggs


Green Eggs & Ham! Oh Dr. Seuss, you have changed the world. I have seen these all over the place so I knew I had to try this for St. Patrick's Day. What could be better than chocolate and pretzels? Not much. 

Ingredients:
  • Pretzel Sticks - you can also use the square pretzels and have eggs on toast :)
  • M&Ms - green (although you could use any color you want)
  • White Candy Melts - found at Michael's
  • Parchment Paper

 First line a couple baking sheets with parchment paper. This is not absolutely necessary, but good to use in case the candy melts too much into a gooey mess. Preheat the oven to 350.


Then put down the pretzel sticks in twos.


On each pair put a candy melt.


Put them in the oven for literally a minute. You just want them to melt, but not fall apart. 
When they are melted take them out and place a green M&M on each egg. Press gently or you will squish it!


YUM! These are absolutely addicting!

Sequin Headband


This is a very simple headband design with sequins for a splash of sparkle. I would love to make a couple colors and wear them all together!

Ingredients:
  • Strung Sequins 
  • Headband - smallest you can buy
  • Hot Glue
  • Scissors

This is pretty simple. Place the glue down in sections and press the strung sequins down to make sure they are secure.



As for the ends: trim them down and remove the extra sequins. Then glue the ends down by wrapping them under the end.




Then you have a finished, cute headband!
