Do you love to bake and then turn around and create a piece of art with your yummy creations by adding fun and festive decorations? Meredith from Wait Til Your Father Gets Home is sharing a super simple but super fun way to decorate your yummy holiday treats with a small piece of ribbon and lollipop sticks! You can make these easy flags for every holiday or special event with any color or print of ribbon to match your special occasion perfectly. Happy Baking…oh, by the way, I am a fabulous taste tester! LOL! Enjoy!
I’m loving all the red, white, and blue projects I’ve been able to work on this Summer and this next craft is no exception. I also love that it only takes a few simple materials to make.
You’ll probably be attending or hosting a 4th of July cookout of some kind in the coming weeks, so sign up to bring dessert and make these cute {and simple} Patriotic Ribbon Flags to top your favorite cupcakes, muffins, cakes, or pies!
To make a few, you’ll need:
lollipop sticks
hot glue/glue gun
scissors
pinking shears
patriotic ribbons from The Ribbon Retreat
yummy dessert
To make each flag, simply cut about 3-4 inches in length of the ribbon of your choice. Place hot glue on end of the ribbon as well as a little dab on the lollipop stick. Wrap ribbon around the lollipop stick and carefully press the ribbon ends together. Trim with pinking shears once the hot glue has cooled down a bit.
Easy peasy and makes a huge statement when serving your delicious 4th of July desserts this year!
I used mine to top some delicious, homemade strawberry pie and love how the flags dressed it up!
I like to believe that the flags made it taste even better!
Happy 4th of July!
