30 Sucks!

The other night I went out to dinner with some girls for work to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday! Some may look forward in being another decade older and embracing their thirties. On the other hand, some say that turning 30 just SUCKS! I made this for my friend and it was super cheap and inexpensive!






What you'll need:


1 glass cylinder  (I got mine at Michael's for about $4)
1 styrofoam ball that fits in the cylinder so that the top half is exposed 
30 lollipops
Wrapping materials
Stickers


Place the styrofoam ball in the jar, it should fit snugly to where only half of it fits. You can spray paint the ball if you like, I left mine white. Start arranging the lollipops in a bouquet-like pattern. I started at the top. Wrap the jar in desired wrapping and add a bow to cover any visible part of the ball. Make a label that says "30 Sucks" and you're all finished! 


What's nice about using a glass vase rather than a box is that it serves as a gift itself!
