      Make five heart shapes and fold the hearts in half to resemble flower petals. Punch a hole in the bottom of the heart shapes and bunch them together so the holes line up. Thread the lollipop sticks through the punched holes. Glue the bottom of the hearts to your lollipop (round lollipops work best for this flower). Spread the hearts out around the lollipop to make the flower petals.
