While I do like to bake and create cute crafts, I’m not a cookie decorator and wasn’t up for giving it a go this round so I went with a semi homemade approach.

You may have seen those fun sprinkle mixes in stores that are full of colored sugars, shimmer pearls and shaped sprinkles. I made my own with the help of a few small and affordable sprinkles packs on sale at Michaels. I sprinkled them on my cupcakes and homemade green dyed Rice Krispies Treats to add that mermaid sparkle.

I grabbed two sizes of cookie cutters and got to work cutting up my sticky treats into star shapes.
