Sweet Heart Lollipop Stand "How To"

You all overwhelmed me by your sweet comments on my little old box I made that I am going to share with you the "How To" early!! It is not brain surgery and I know you all make much more complicated crafts than this, so I was impressed you cared. Okay here it is:

Start with 2 Styrofoam blocks ( I could not find any in the exact size I wanted so I had to buy these 2) and some moss.

Put tooth picks in between them all the way down. Then push the 2 halves together to make one big block.

Cut strips of craft paper the size of each 4 sides. ( I measured them by laying the box on it's side, drawing a line from one edge to another and then cutting with some scissors). I am sure there is a "neater" way to do this but hey I am on time crunches while my daughter is taking her nap!=)

I then hot glued all the stripes to the sides. . .

. . . now it should now look like this:

Take your moss and lay it on top of your box. Trim the edges with a scissors and cut pieces to fit on the edges or any "white space". The hot glue your moss top to the top of your box.

I hand made my signs and stickers on my computer (used Avery label stickers for the lollipops) and then attached the label using Pop Dots. And then Voila!
