Craft Paper Lollipops

Thank you for all of your sweet comments on our trip to San Francisco! Today I am excited to share with you my most recent 12 Months of Martha project. This month we were challenged to make something with a brand new punch as well as chalkboard goodies. I am sort of going nuts over both. I adore this new punch because you can punch anywhere on a page and it immediately allows you to fold your designs to add dimension. So cute and easy. These craft paper lollipops were done in about five minutes. I think they would make pretty cute photo booth props as well! To complete this party chalkboard I used the following: Erasable Liquid Chalk  | Laser Cut Stencils | Brand New Cut and Fold Punch       To create the lollipops using the Cut and Fold Punch I simply punched in a circle {the direction are super clear and the magnet on the punch keeps you from making a mistake}. Then I backed the lollipop with a different color paper and cut a scalloped type circle. A dab of glue in the center holds the two colors together. The straws are attached with a couple pieces of washi tape. Done and done. Like I said, they would make cute photo booth props or just used as decoration. I like the whimsical feel they have.   For this little party setup I focused on the chalkboard. By decorating the chalkboard and using just a piece of fabric, the party scene is set. I am loving my new cake stand. Especially with the dome. It is available exclusively at Macy’s. Elevating a dessert always seems to be a good idea and serves as cute décor, too. Added bonus. Scrumptious dessert recipes can be found here. The striped fabric is from Ikea and the cute milk bottles were found at HomeGoods.  Polka dot napking are from Anthropologie. It doesn’t take much to turn a little space into a party place. And “Let them eat cake,” are words to live by, don’t you think?! To see my other 12 Months of Martha Projects, click here.
