Wednesday ReView: Mardi Gras-Beignets (Donuts from Canned Biscuits) & Barbie's Jester Headband

Fat Tuesday is next week so I thought I'd share a simple idea for some Beignets (or Donuts) from canned biscuits. I made an orange zest version pictured here, you could coat them in a more traditional powdered sugar if desired. And even Barbie likes to have a little Mardi Gras fun... 

These jester headbands are colorful, festive, and come together in no time. All that's required is the ring from a screw-on bottle cap and some bump chenille pipe cleaners in green, gold and purple. I added some gold beads to the tips too, you could also use really small bells, pom-poms, or any other embellishment that sounds like fun.

The headband is cute for both Ken and Barbie😉

Simply twist the pipe cleaners around the ring and shape into curves... Wa-la!
No beads for the ends? Just give each tip a little curl to create the illusion of a ball.

Make something just for fun and have a happy day:@)
