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!
