Valentine Lollipop Holders




I was working on these last night.  It's raining and there are lots of clouds outside so the lighting is not very good for these photos so I apologize.   My daughter's birthday is next month on the 12th.  We always have a family party so I want to make one for all of the girls and ladies at the party.  They are really simple to make.  It's a good thing too because I have a lot to make!  I used George and Basic Shapes to cut the flowers.  I cut them out at 2 3/4 inches.  You need two of them for 1 lollipop.  I cut out one of the petals to make the center.  I glued the two end petals together with hot glue.  Next I snipped off the end and stuck the lollipop in.  You will probably need to play with it to get it to fit and twist it to fit up to the bottom of the lolli.  For the second I cut a hole in the middle.  I used hot glue to glue the center flower to the second flower.  I put half of a small styrofoam ball in the bottom and added shredded paper that I found at Walmart for $1.00.  The papers for the two flowers on the ends are from this year's K & Company Valentine Stack, the white one in the middle's paper came from a Recollections pack for this year.  The ribbon came from Michaels as well as the little dimensional stickers on the pots. Hope you all are having a good weekend.  Where I am at it has been raining and raining and raining.  I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment.  Thanks for stopping by.

Lots Of Hugs,
Laura

  3. These are adorable my friend! What a great party favor for the girls too!! I may have to give this a try if I can find some girls to give them too. lol We got snow, then sleet/freezing rain and now we are to get more freezing rain tonight. Yulk! On the other hand the road crews are doing an awesome job of keeping the road ice free! Kudos to them!
