Here is a quick HOW TO:
Chocolate Chip Card Stock cut to 2 1/4" x 2" and 3/4" x 5/8".
and More Mustard cut to 6 x 2 1/4, Score at 1/2 on the long side.
Break fibres of paper by running it along the edge of a table or counter. You need to make the paper more pliable so it will wrap around the stem of the sucker.
Using a strong adhesive wrap the Chocolate Chip Card Stock around the stem. I used the small piece inside the hole at the end of the sucker. I cut it half way down in strips to make it look worn.
Distress the More Mustard piece by sponging the edges in Soft Suede and using the spritzer to add some splatter also in Suede!
Cut the Mustard piece up to the score line in strips (try not to be perfect. It looks better if the strips are in different widths). Using a very strong adhesive wrap the uncut 1/2" scored section around the base of the sucker. You can wrap some linen thread around the base and decorate as you see fit! I used the fun Owl Builder Punch from Stampin Up and the great new Champaign Glimmer Paper in the Mini.
To the right you can see a great way to use a 2-D version on a scrapbook page! This would look good on a card also.
Thanks for looking!
