Paper Popsicles Blog Hop

Paper Popsicles is having it's first ever blog hop, so you'll be asked to hop from blog to blog featuring yummy eye candy with a summer theme...and of course what's eye candy without a little blog candy...so just leave a comment before you hop along to the next blog and you just might pick up a prize!!!

Each blog will feature a secret word...these words needs to be collected and then put together to form a phrase. This phrase will then need to be emailed to paperpopsicles@gmail.com by Sunday night, July 12 at midnight Central time to be eligible for our grand prize.

So......lets get started!!!

If you are joining me from Tricia's blog great...you are hopping right along...if you just stumbled upon my blog...you won't want to miss a thing, so hop on over to the Paper Popsicles blog to get you started.

This is a quick, inexpensive alternative to a live bouquet. It could serve as a centerpiece or get-well gift. I gave my creation to the nursing staff at St. Clare's as a thank you when I had Scout. You could use stars instead for a patriotic 4th of July display.

Supplies-

Wooden pencil holder box

Styrofoam floral insert

Wooden Skewers

Paper & Embellies

Instructions-

1. I covered the wooden box with paper but you could paint or decoupage it as well.

2. I inserted the floral foam into the box and covered it with paper. You could use marbles, rocks or candy instead of the floral foam.

3. Cut your flowers. I think Paper Popsicles June Mini Kit- Skipping Along (20% off) or Paper Popsicles May Kit- Vanilla would be perfect for this. I cut my flowers by hand but you could use your Cricut/Wishblade/Silhouette.

4. Attach the skewers to the back of the flower. I used transparent tape but you could stitch them together too.

5. Insert the skewers into the foam as you want the arranged.

6. Give your gift and wait for the oooh's & aaahhhh's!
