Matt and I don’t do Valentines Day gifts, but I decided I still wanted to make something little and cute for him.  So, I made a bunch of lollipop flowers.  They’re cheap and super easy to make.  Here’s how.

Draw or download and print a flower template and cut it out.

Trace the flower onto some felt.  I chose dark red for Valentines, but I think I might try some other colours for birthdays and things later.

Cut the flower out of the felt and snip a little hole in the centre.  I found the easiest way to do this is to fold it into quarters and just snip the corner.

Insert your lollipop into the hole.  I also cut out a set of freehand leaves for mine, but I think that’s pretty optional.  Now just shape the flower around the lollipop a little and you’re done!

Happy Valentines Day!
