It is an easy spring wedding craft, but if you are going to have a large number of wedding guests, then have your bridesmaids help you make these months ahead of time! Lollipops do not go bad, but be sure to keep them at room temperature while in storage.
To Make Spring Wedding Favors: Lollipop Flowers You Will Need:
Fabric
Ribbon
Silk Leaves
Scissors
Lollipops
To get started you want to cut a piece of gross grain green ribbon about 12 inches long.
Cut out another piece of fabric, yellow felt would be great for a daisy, out to about 4 by 4 inches.
Now take your silk leaves and attach them to the stick. You can simply use the wires built into them and it them right in the middles of the stick or closer to the base of the lollipop. Trim the loose wires close to the knot, but do not worry too much how this look because you will be covering it.
Wrap the head of the lollipop in the fabric. Hold it around the head and tie the gross grain ribbon around the base of the lollipop candy in a knot.
You need to add the petals on the flowers made from lollipops.
You want to cut one circle about 4 inches in diameter. Cut a second circle about 3 inches in diameter. Scallop the edges of both pieces of fabric.
If you use felt or fleece you do not need to worry about fraying. Otherwise you may want to use a no fry product on the edges of the petal wheel you cut.
Now, right tin the middle of the circle you want to cut out one tiny hole. Use this to slide onto the lollipop stick, rig top to the base of the candy. Slide the smaller scalloped circle on first, then the larger circle.
Start wrapping the ribbon around the stick of the lollipop to mimic the stem of the flower. Continue this all the way to the bottom of the lollipop stick.
Tip: Try wrapping the stick with the ribbon at a 45 degree angle. It looks really nice this way.
As you reach the wire for the silk leave, work around this, trying to cover the wires as you go.
