Here is a super easy Valentine we came up with the other day. All you need is some crepe paper and lollipops and you’re set. We added some “You’re my best bud” labels but these are sweet on their own too.
Materials Needed: Crepe Paper, Glue, Scissors, Tape, Lollipops
Step 1: Take a fold of crepe paper and cut out a stack of petal shapes with the paper grain going from top to bottom. Leaving a long piece at the stem.
Step 2: Stretch out the petals with your thumb to form a round petal shape.
Step 3: Take the sucker and add petals pinching them at the base of the candy.
Step 4: Continue adding layers of petals and add a piece of tape to secure them in place.
Step 5: Cut off excess paper beyond the tape.
Step 6: Cut off a strip of crepe paper for the stem and dap some glue on the end of it.
Step 7: Starting at the base wrap the strip around the stem and secure with a dab of glue at the end.

I love how you can’t even really tell there’s a lollipop inside from some angles thanks to the yellow lollipop. It’s a sweet surprise!

oh my gosh, as soon as I saw these i knew I had to make ’em! my crepe paper wasn’t working out well for the petals, so I ended up using different shades of pink and red tissue paper for the petals in the same method with little dum-dum lollipops and it worked marvelously. my loved ones are going to get a happy surprise tomorrow morning 🙂
thank you for the inspiration!
