Ingredients

  • 1 small package blue gelatin
  • 1 small package yellow gelatin
  • Silver pipe cleaners
  • Black pipe cleaners
  • Candy eyes
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  • Mix up the blue gelatin according to the package directions. This is typically means to stir the gelatin with one cup of boiling water until it is dissolved. After everything is dissolved add a cup of cold water and then place in small dishes to set. This turns out the cutest in clear dishes, but you can use whatever you have. Leave the gelatin to set in the fridge for about four hours. Repeat the preparation instructions for the yellow gelatin and add a yellow layer of gelatin on top of the blue. Allow to set for about four hours.
  • While your gelatin in setting up, make the pipe cleaner goggles. to make a pair with two eyes, take two pipe cleaners and make circles, leave a small amount of the piper cleaner out of the circle, as in the photo below.
  • Place the circles right next to each other and twist the small extra pieces around both circles to hook them together. Fold a black pipe cleaner over the side of the silver circle and twist it together to stay. Repeat on the other side.
  • After your gelatin has completely set, pull it out of the fridge and top it with a swirl of whipped cream. Add your pipe cleaner googles, a couple sprigs of cute little minion hair, in the form of more pipe cleaners and then add the eye ball the center of it all.

Notes

When we were making these silly goggles, I ended up making a bunch of extra pairs for my crazy little minions to wear while watching Despicable Me. My girls have been waiting to bring home Minions, by Illumination Entertainment, pretty much since it hit theaters. They can’t wait to have our Minions movie night at home. There is going to be a lot of giggling and antics for sure!
