Pretty lollipops

Katie and I did something similar for her class Valentine's a couple years ago and she wants to do them again this year.  They are lollipop covers.  They are easy to make and something you can do with your kids!  I made these for Ready, Set, Create!, which will be out February 1.

 

Here's how to make your own:
Cut a piece of paper or cardstock 6" x 2.5".  Fold in each short end about 0.5" and fold the whole thing in half.  See drawing below.  Punch holes where indicated.  This is for lollipops smaller than 3" x 2.5".  Adjust the cut paper size according to the size of your lollipop.

Your paper should look like this:

Time to decorate.   Kate likes to use stickers and draw.  We decorate one side and she writes her classmates' names on the other.

Line up the holes and put the lollipop stick through the holes.  It's a pretty lollipop!

What an adorable idea! Although my children are grown, I always make treats for all my neighbors during the special days of the year. I think your lollipop idea would be just perfect for this year's Valentine treat. Thank you for sharing your project and tutorial.

Hello there Laurie, I'm enjoying getting to know you thru your blog. Plus I'm going to make my way thru some of your links because there are a lot of Blogs that are new to me. I've just read January so far and I love the one about your older daughter and the tiles trying to spell out Ellie!
Warmly,
Patrice
