1

Gather Your Supplies

Before starting the crafting adventure, gather the following items: lollipops (at least 5), colorful tissue paper (different colors of your choice), green floral tape, green pipe cleaners (2 per flower), scissors, and a hot glue gun.

2

Create Flower Petals

Cut square pieces of tissue paper. Each square will become a petal, so aim for approximately 3x3 inches (7.6x7.6 cm) in size. Prepare multiple squares in different colors if you want a multi-colored flower bouquet.

3

Forming the Petals

Take a lollipop and grab a tissue paper square. Center the lollipop over the square, allowing the edges of the paper to extend beyond the lollipop. Gently press the tissue paper around the lollipop, making sure it adheres securely.

4

Twist and Secure

Twist the excess tissue paper tightly at the base of the lollipop. Secure the twisted paper with a small piece of floral tape. This will create the flower's stem and hold the petals in place.

5

Attach the Stem

Take two green pipe cleaners and twist them together at one end, leaving the other ends free. This will create a longer stem. Position the joined end of the pipe cleaners against the base of the lollipop, just below the twisted tissue paper. Secure them tightly with floral tape, wrapping it around the base to cover any exposed wire.

6

Add Leaves

Using the remaining pipe cleaners, create leaves by bending and shaping them. Attach the leaves to the lollipop stem by wrapping the loose ends of the pipe cleaners around it. You can make as many leaves as you like to create a lush foliage effect.

Finishing Touches

Take a step back and admire your lollipop flowers! Arrange them in a vase or tie them together with a colorful ribbon. These adorable creations make terrific gifts or cheerful decorations for any occasion.
