Hello there! It’s Christine over at Pure Joy Events, here to share the lollipop flower tutorial from my Gingham Easter Party. When Bird asked me to do a guest post, of course I jumped at the opportunity.

These lollipop flowers are super simple to make, and could serve as darling favors for baby showers and children’s birthday parties. Here’s what you’ll need:

* floral craft punch* tissue paper

* lollipops

* green floral stryofoam block (mine is 4″W x 4″D x 2″H)

* green gingham scrapbook paper

* white glue

Step 1: Fold a sheet of tissue paper to create two layers, then use the floral punch to cut out the petals. I used different shades of pink tissue paper to add color and dimension.

Step 2: Place two to four petals on top of each other and punch a hole in the center.

Step 3: Thread the petals through the lollipop stick.

Step 4: Cut out leaves from the gingham paper, and glue them around the lollipop stick.

Step 5: To make the stand for the lollipop flowers, cut out four 4″W x 4″D x 2 3/4″H rectangular pieces from the gingham paper, then create blades of the grass by making some triangular cuts along the top. Use a pencil to curl the grass. Lastly, glue the paper to the sides of the floral block.
