But first, I want to share the treats I made from Mary's Lollipop Garden file at SVG Cuts. This is an older file, but easy peasy to construct and to add extra touches to make it your own.
I cut the lollipop covers from patterned paper and then realized I would have to discard half of them because on the file, the cuts are upside down and packed closely together to save paper. There was just no way to 'slice' them apart! My solution was to use double sided paper that was patterned on one side and unpatterned pink or red on the other. See how it pays to have a large stash of paper? LOL!
I also found that I could not secure the cover to the lollipop with ribbon as Mary suggests, but adding a little strip of washi tape helped keep the tabs in place so that I could make that little knot.
How cute are these lollipop gardens? Have a lovely Valentine's Day and thanks for visiting with me today. : ) Christine
