This post is a little late but as we are approaching March I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day. I am extremely lucky to have so many Valentines and decided to make them "flowers" to say I loved them. These are just a cheaper version than real flowers during the holiday.
For the DumDum Flowers you will need:
Fun Valentines paper
Wire and wire cutters
Green Floral tape
DumDum Lollipops
I would recommend cutting out as many hearts as you can from your Valentines paper which I got from Michael's. Martha Stewart makes paper cutters in all different shapes. So I had a great time with my new heart shaped cutter. Cut the wire to the length of or a bit longer than the lollipop stick. Next you are going to put one heart at a time around the top of the DumDum. I mixed and matched paper but you can use just one type as well. Three of four hearts make it into a cute lollipop flower. After the four hearts are in place continue to wrap the rest of the DumDum stick and wire adding a green heart half way down for a leaf. The floral tape sticks to itself so just pull at the end and you are finished! I had little cheap vases from Michael's to put the DumDum bouquet in and added a bow and tag for a cute unique Valentine!
Happy Valentines! Hope it was wonderful with your friends and family! See you in the spring!
