Lollipop Tent Tutorial: Classroom Treats

For the Valentine's Day party at my son's preschool, I made lollipop tents for his classmates and an owl treat bag for his teacher. 


I used Echo Park's Love Story collection and Trendy Twine for these treats.  They were really easy and fun to do. I didn't use any die cut machines to make these treats. Just a paper trimmer, a score blade and a hole punch. 

To make the lollipop tents, I cut strips of patterned paper 2 inches wide by 8 inches long. I scored them at 2.5 and 4.5 inches to make the base and at 7.5 inches to make the closure flap.  Then I used a hole punch to notch a place for the lollipop stick.



These are the tents with the lollipops added. 



To decorate them, I added a sentiment pennant, a twine bow and heart. 



Another view of the lollipop treats:

Here's one of the owl.  I added a cellophane bag filled with M&Ms in his tummy. Yummy!



I have a tutorial on how to make the owl on this post.  The sentiment above says:  Owl Be Your Valentine.
