Instructions

  1. Small 2013 04 09 14.42.13

    Gather your scrap paper.

  2. Small 2013 04 09 14.47.19

    Draw out circles for simple wrapped candies. Cut them out and choose a contrasting colour for the wrapper tips.

  3. Small 2013 04 09 14.48.47

    Cut out two fishtail shapes connected by a thin middle (this will make it easier to tape to the back of the circles).

  4. Small 2013 04 09 15.19.21

    Finished little wrapped candies.

  5. Small 2013 04 09 15.03.21

    Now cut out larger colourful circles for large lollipop swirls.

  6. Small 2013 04 09 15.21.10

    Choose one colour as the base and one as the top swirl. Take the top colour and cut out a swirl by cutting at one point and following the circle until you reach the middle.

  7. Small 2013 04 09 15.31.13

    Make the swirls thinner by cutting along the middle of the strip all the way through the middle. Glue the swirls on top of plain circles and add a little strip for the stick.

  8. Small 2013 04 09 15.58.59

    To make candy sticks, cut out a few strips and match similar shades together. Cut out diagonal strips from each light shade and discard every other one. Glue the rest down with an even space between.

  9. Small 2013 04 09 16.09.58

    Candy sticks are done! Continue making a bunch of different paper candies -your imagination is your limit!

  10. Small 2013 04 09 16.19.02

    Glue all of the candies down close together on the string and hang it wherever you like!

    Have fun!
