Instructions:

Creating the Petals:

1. Align the Airhead candy to where it’s in the middle of the candy wrapper
2. Lightly puncture a bamboo skewer through the wrapper and into the taffy, careful not to pierce all the way through
3. Twist the other side of the airhead around so that the it’s overlapping the side of the airhead that has the skewer in it
4. Use the floral wire to secure the airhead in place around the skewer and tighten
5. Repeat until you have 5-6 petals

Putting the Petals Together:

1. Taking two petals at a time, use the green tape to combine them together
2. Take one or two the petals and the green tape and combine the lollipop to the petals
3. Using the green tape, carefully hold all the petals around the lollipop and tape together securely. Tape for about three inches down the bamboo skewers

Attach the Artificial Flower:

1. Grab the artificial flower and hold it against the Airhead Flower until you’ve got it into a position you like
2. Use the green tape to combine the artificial flower to the Airhead Flower and tape all the way down the bamboo skewers until the entire flower stem is green
3. Pull the tape tightly at the end so it stays secure. You can also use regular tape to reinforce the bottom tape piece.

And that’s it! You’ve got a beautiful floral gift you can use for any celebratory event!
