Friendship Blossoms

Valentine’s Day might be over, but you don’t need a special occasion to show your friends that you care!

I remember getting something like this my freshman year.  One of my friends had a few sheets of colorful scrap paper lying around, and decided she wanted to do something creative with her time. 

What you’ll need (and probably already have):

1.  3 sheets of different colored paper            

     (one for the flower, the center, and the leaves)

2.  Scissors

3.  Tape

4.  Lollipops

Directions:

1.  For each blossom, cut: three heart-shaped petals,   

                                                  two leaves

                                                  one flower center                

2.  Overlap the petals and tape the flower center in the middle.

3.  Poke a small hole in the center and slide the lollipop through.

4.  Attach the leaves to the lollipop stem and tape to secure.
