Lolly Frame Tutorial

Hello everyone!  I am really excited to share my first ever tutorial today. So, here we go!

Ok, so this is what it looks like finished. I know that it's pretty funny that there is a picture of myself, but I promise that this wasn't my first option.  I tried to find a black and white picture of my family, but it disappeared!  Oh well, for the sake of this tutorial you get to see me in some Roman ruins in France.

First I took a 1 1/2" by 12" strip of paper.  I used First Edition Designer Series Paper which comes with 24 sheets, so you will have plenty of this cute paper left over for another project!  Then I scored at every fourth inch using the Simply Scored.

Then you will fold on the score lines going everyother way, like you would make a fan when you were a little kid.

Next you will attach the two ends together to make this funny shape.  I'm not even sure what to call that...

Then gather one end and press down to make this lolly shape.

Then I used two of my Stampin Up Punches to get the circles that I will need to hold my Lolly together.  I used the 1" and the 1/2" inch punches.  I like that with a punch your circle will trun out perfect every time!

Here is the back view where I used the 1" punch.  Ooops it's a little crooked, but it won't show. Shhhhhh don't tell that it isn't straight!

Here is the front view.  I used black cardstock and hot glue to make this stay.  Other glues might work if you put a brad in the middle, but I have found that hot glue works best.  The next step is to make a bunch more of these in different sizes.  I would recommend having the 1 1/2" x12" being your largest Lolly, but you can do whatever you wish.  If you have any questions please let me know!  I love how my frame turned out!

Good luck crafting!  I think that I might have to make another one with a lot more color.... the possabilities are endless!
