Quick Lollipop Flowerpot Craft

 

I made up a selection of these little flower pots to give as gifts at Christmas time.
 
Thinking ahead now to the end of the school term in a couple of months, these would make a slightly different than usual teacher gift.
 
They are so quick & easy to make that even if you think of yourself as non crafty I'm pretty sure you could rustle this one up!
 
Not only is it quick & easy to make but it's also not going to break the bank.
 

 

All you need is:
 
A smallish terracotta flower pot
A couple of sheets of green tissue paper
A bag of lollipops
A circle of florists foam to fit your pot (Hobbycraft sell these small ones in packs of three)
 
 
 
All you need to do is rip off a rough square of tissue paper, fold it over a little if you want, and pierce the lollipop stick through the middle of it.

 

 
You will have a strange shaped green 'leaf' on your lollipop flower that you can now crumple up a little bit more around the flower.
 

 

 
Then just stick the lolly sticks into the florist foam.
 

 

 
Once I was happy with the position of all of my 'flowers' then I reshaped the 'leaves' a bit better to hide the florist foam below.
 
 

 

Simple!

  2. What a cute idea. It would be perfect for a teachers gift as you said. I could think of many ways to use it.
    Thanks Kirsteen
