here are the promised pics of the avi's invite. i love the way that they turned out. they weren't hard, but they are a little bit timely.
**try to glue yours together a little straighter than i did this first one:)
edt">{the finished product... unwrapped}
edt">{a closer look at my crooked edge:)}
{here is the template i made for the actual info part}
i made it to have the colors to match my papers...
this one is made to be the size i made mine. but you could always shrink it down.
you just want to make sure that this one is about 1-1 1/2" smaller than your patterned paper.
edt">{i used this circle cutter by making memories, i got it at Michael's craft}
edt">{just cut a front & back sheet for you lollipop. i made mine with 9" Styrofoam, which i got at the cso
i cut my sheets as wide as the cutter would allow}
edt">{i glued 1 1/2" satin ribbon around the edge of each disc... after i glued the
dowel in}
edt">{cut 1 1/2" strips to acordian fold for around the outer edge of you lollipop}
you will probably need 3-4 strips depending on what size you make &
how tight you fold them.
edt">{after you have folded all of your strips, glue them together in a long line, then
glue the ends together to make a circle}
edt">{hot glue around the edge of your styrafoam, them stretch your acordian paper
& hold it down until the glue is set}
edt">
edt">{make one small accordian paper to glue in between the patterned & word
circles.
edt">{glue them all together, again paying attention to the space on all sides}
edt">{this is what it should look like from the side}
edt">{glue another piece of patterned paper onto the back, i went with a circular stripe
on this side instead of the horizontal stripe on the other side}
edt">{wrap each one up i clear cellophane & tie with ribbon of you choice}
edt">{making it look as close to a real lollipop wrapper as you can}
{& tada! one lollipop invite... or you could omit the word part & use then as decor}
the party is on saturday... gotta get cookin'
