Tissue Paper Flower Lollipop Bouquet

Create an oh-so-sweet bouquet that'll last way longer than flowers.

• Tissue paper
• Scissors
• Hole punch 
• Lollipops 
• Bamboo skewers 
• Green tape or floral tape
  

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fold the tissue paper a number of times until you have a 5″ square. Cut a circular shape out of the folded paper with a 4″ diameter. Choose a second color and cut another series of shapes, this time with a 3″ diameter. Adjust sizes accordingly for bigger or smaller lollipops.
2. Pinch the rounds in the center by gently folding them in half. Use the single hole punch to make a center hole in the paper.
3. Put the lollipop stick through the hole and twist the papers so that the uneven edges are all on different sides.
4. Scrunch the paper together around the lollipop and use electrical or floral tape to secure the paper to the stick at the base of the petals. Wind the tape around the stick to make a green stem.
5. If you'll be putting your flower lollipops in a vase, use your green tape to attach the lollipop stick to a bamboo skewer, and continue wrapping the tape to create the flower's stem.
6. Scrunch and fluff up the tissue paper to give the petals a fuller, ruffled look.
7. Place lollipop flowers in a pot of soil, or in a vase.
