50 Sucks Lollipop Bouquet

50 is a milestone year wouldn't you agree?

A dear friend of ours turned 50 this year. My friend Isabel has planned a "surprise" family evening of disco bowling! She has requested that the guests assist with the decor, balloons, etc. I like the idea of a candy bouquet!


The supplies list for this fun craft is as follows:

1. 50 Lollipops
2. Styrofoam Ball
3. Glass Container
4. White Ribbon
5. Skewer
6. 50 Sucks Print
7. Sheet Tissue Paper
8. Clear Cellophane 


The instructions/construction is straight forward:

1. Insert 50 lollipops randomly into the styrofoam ball.
2. Pierce the completed ball through the centre with a ribbon wrapped skewer.
3. Affix the 50 sucks print below.
(I wasn't happy with the overall look of glass container and expressed my concerns to my spouse. He brilliantly suggested adding tissue paper! I LOVED this idea!)


4. Fill the glass container with tissue paper. 

5. Add curled ribbon between the visible gaps of lollipop and styrofoam.

6. Wrap with clear cellophane.


In addition to this frivolously fun candy bouquet, we gifted him a monogrammed baseball style cap with his birth year and initials.

Happy 50th Birthday FL!
