Lollipops are a sugary treat that both children and adults love.
Lollipops are a fun addition to any party theme. Make fun and tasty lollipop favors for guests to take home as a reminder of the party. A simple lollipop with a note of thanks attached makes a suitable favor. But if you want something even more special, use simple craft materials and you can create some memorable favors out of simple lollipops. Does this Spark an idea?
Lollipop Flowers
Create flowers out of lollipops and use a bouquet as a centerpiece at a party. Cut a simple five-petal flower shape out of construction paper or fun foam. Poke the stick of a lollipop through the center of the flower. You can add fun foam leaves to the stem (stick of the lollipop). Keep the lollipop flowers in a short vase or terra cotta pot for a fun and colorful party table centerpiece. Allow each guest to take a flower home as a favor or make a small bouquet for each guest and tie a ribbon around the stems.
Lollipop Friends
Make lollipop friends to give as party favors. Cover the top of a ball-shaped lollipop with fabric and tie a ribbon or piece of thread around the base of the lollipop. This forms the head and neck of a lollipop friend. Use markers to add eyes, mouth and other facial details. Add yarn hair to the top of the lollipop. Use the party theme or season to dictate the type of creatures you create. Make a Santa by adding a red felt hat to the top. Create a friendly ghost by using white sheer fabric. Create a clown for a circus-themed party by adding a red pom pom nose and a silly felt hat.
Lollipop Funny Faces
Make lollipops even more fun by making lollipop funny faces favors. Cut a mustache shape out of brown craft foam. Poke a hole in the fun foam with the stick of the lollipop. When the guest sucks on the lollipop it will appear that he has a brown mustache. Use red fun foam to create red lips and poke the stick of a lollipop through the foam so that when the guest sucks on the treat it will appear that she has large red lips.
Wands and Scepters
If you are having a fairy-themed event, use a lollipop to create a fairy wand. Use a large disk-shaped lollipop to make a fairy wand. Cut two stars out of silver metallic paper. The stars should be slightly larger than the lollipop. Tape the two stars onto the lollipop (one on each side). Add a ribbon bow just below the lollipop on the neck. Add sparkle to the star or metallic ribbon or star garland to add to the fairy look. For a princess or royal-themed event, use a similar process to make a scepter. Use gold foiled paper and wrap the lollipop stick in burgundy or purple colored velvet ribbon for a royal appearance.
