Minion Cakepop Tutorial Step by Step!!

Right now I love everything Minions! They are just the cutest little villains. They make being bad adorable. I was so excited about the release of the movie last weekend! Honestly, my excitement exceeded that of my 7 year old and I must say, I have no shame in that. I was so excited that I thought it would be a great idea to make some Minion Cakepops to celebrate :) And because they turned out so darn cute I wanted to share a step by step so that everyone else could share in my enthusiasm.

Fall Wreath - Hobby Lobby Knock Off!

This post is taking Nuestro Buen Provecho in a new direction!! I'm so excited because my forte is in the kitchen I'm not very crafty. DIYs and crafts are not really my thing. But I was browsing through Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago just doing some wishful shopping, (just looking, no buying) and I saw this oh so cute wreath that was on display. To my dismay it was a whopping $160.00! Jaw drop! Of course there is no way in the world I could afford this on my budget, so I set out to make one myself for much cheaper.

Here is the Hobby Lobby Wreath.....

Nice Right?? But not $160.00 nice!

I understand after all the materials, and the time it takes to make it, of course it probably is worth about that much. But my door doesn't need such a big wreath and I thought I could make one that fit the size of my budget and the size of my door. 

Since it's fall Hobby Lobby has everything in their Fall section on sale for 40% off! Even those pretty red sunflowers. 

For my smaller scale wreath I bought the following items:

1 16in orange wire frame with pipe cleaners attatched

3 15ft rolls of burlap

1 15ft roll of burlap chevron ribbon

1 red sunflower

1 letter "C" unfinished wood cutout

I spent about $29.00 for all materials.

Everything was 40 % off except for the chevron ribbon, so I used a 40% off any regular priced item coupon for that. Also, the letter cutout was on sale for 30%. 

I want to say that I saw a few YouTube videos for burlap wreaths and there were not many that used this wire frame. Many use the ones without the pipe cleaners. I ended up using a method that I kind of came up with on my own.
