I had so much fun delivering these CUTE sailboats on a Jell-O ocean to my daughter’s class this morning as they kick-off “Beach Week” at school! Nicolle, of Libby Lane Press, came up with these adorable summer/beach treats, and she is kindly sharing the tutorial with us today!

I made mine just a little different because I wanted to put each child’s name on the sail. Nicolle used felt for the sail which gives a crisp and more perfected look to the sailboat. I used paper triangles that I simply cut from typing paper. The thinner paper made it easier to push the toothpicks through, and then I wrote the names on each…

Here is the TUTORIAL on making these delightful little treats- from Nicolle, at Libby Lane Press…

For your supplies, this is what you will need~

-small plastic cocktail cups
-Berry Blue jello
-peeled oranges or clementines
-toothpicks
-white felt
-glue

 

Step 1: Follow the instructions on the box to prepare the Jell-O

 

Step 2: Using a ladle, spoon the Jell-O into the cups filling about halfway.

 

Step 3: Put the cups of Jell-O in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes

Step 4: While the Jell-O is solidifying, cut a “sail” out of felt

Step 5: Using glue (any type of school glue works just fine) attach felt to toothpick

Step 6: Once the Jell-O is ready, stick the toothpick with attached “sail” through the orange to create the orange boat then stick into the Jell-O until the boat balances.

Thank you for sharing this EASY and perfect treat for the summer, Nicolle!
