I made several "tootsie pop flowers" for my son's teachers for Valentine's day - super easy, and they really made a lovely bouquet when grouped together. Plus, got to use up some old scrapbook paper bits that were too small for anything else, yeah! All you need is:
1 tootsie pop
5 3" hearts (3" tall x 3" at the widest point)
1 3" circle, fringed toward the center
2 leaves (cut from different paper for contrast)
Punch holes in the center of the circle, the pointy end of the hearts and the pointy end of the leaves. Push the tootsie pop stick through the holes (starting with the circle, then the hearts, then the leaves) and wrap a little tape around the bottom to keep them from sliding off. You can also tape the whole thing to a skewer and wrap the skewer with green tissue paper to make a stem (which makes it easier to gather these into a bouquet).
I'm thinking these would be awesome for just about *any* occasion, not just V-day. :-)
