This appy’s are so simple – and we really, really mean it. Think refrigerated dough cut into squares and then tucked into a mini muffin tin. Add a slice of Brie and a spoonful of mango chutney, pop into the oven, garnish with mint and done. Didn’t believe us when we said it was easy? We’d never lie to you! Now, let’s get cooking.

What You’ll Need:

• Refrigerated Premade Dough
• Brie
• Mango chutney
• Mint leaves
• Mini muffin tin
• Cooking spray

Brie Bites with Mango Chutney

Firstly, preheat oven to 350°. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and then spread the dough onto a counter or cutting board (you may need to sprinkle some flour to prevent sticking) and then roll out the dough. Cut the dough into 24 squares.

Place dough squares into the muffin tin slots.

Cut the Brie into small slices and then place inside of the dough squares.

Top each square with a spoonful of mango chutney.

Bake for 10-15 minutes.

We recommend topping each Brie Bite with a mint leaf. Unfortunately, due to supply shortages in the times of COVID, we did not have any mint available to add to our tutorial!

What You’ll Need:

• 12” Wood clock base
• Paint brushes (one broad and one fine tipped)
• White and Black paint
• Gold sparkle ribbon or ribbon tape
• Clock kit
• White transfer paper
• Pencil
• Free printable template (click here)

Paint face of your clock black. 

Cut your template out, following the black circle outline. This will allow you to align the template to the outside edge of your clock base. Lay a sheet of the transfer paper out onto your clock base and then place your template on top of the transfer paper, aligning the edge of the paper with the clock base.  Use a pencil to trace over each letter which will leave a chalky outline.

Following the pattern you made with the transfer paper, use the white paint and your fine tipped brush to fill in the letters on your clock face. A paint marker would work well for this too.

Attach ribbon or ribbon tape around the outside edge of the clock.

Add the clock hands and motor, while most kits include threading the motor shaft through the centre of the clock and attaching the hands with the bolts provided, follow the directions on your kit.

Finally, add some batteries to the countdown clock and party the year away, happy crafting!

You’ll need a very sharp retractible knife for this project…and a steady hand!   Also, a cutting board is needed under the paper.  I got one from the local dollar store, I also picked up the wooden dowels too.  You could also use BBQ skewers as well, the stick needs to be long enough to stand inside whichever cup or vase you are using.  Using bright coloured paper is a MUST for creating these Cinco de Mayo papers…because you can’t have fiesta decorations without COLOUR!!

Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Papel Picado Decoration 

What you’ll need

• Wooden dowels (small) or BBQ skewers
• Bright coloured card stock
• A sharp retractible knife
• Hole punch
• Decorative scissors
• Cutting board
• Pencil
• Hot glue gun
• Ruler

First, cut your card stock into 4×4″ squares.  Then draw your design lightly in pencil. Focus on creating small shapes within the square. Cut hearts, circles, petals, flowers near each other.  Next, place the paper onto the cutting board and CAREFULLY cut out the design using the sharp retractible knife. Take your time to be sure you are getting straight, crisp cuts (and don’t throw those cut outs out).  

Finally, glue the paper squares onto the wooden dowels or BBQ skewers, set aside to dry.

Remember the parts of the paper we cut out? The reason for that is to use them as confetti for your table top! Spread them out where you’re serving your food and drinks.

Perfect for your festive celebration these Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Papel Picado Decoration are bright, happy and colourful. Place these Mexican fiesta party decorations into cups, vases or bottles.  You could even use them as stir sticks!  So grab some tequila, your favourite mix and get ready to party!!
