Summary: Fake lollipop decorations can be made in a few simple steps with some materials you may already have around the house. Start by finding a Styrofoam ball that is about the size of your lollipop. Cut a small hole out of the top of the ball, making sure to keep the hole centered. Next, use a hot glue gun to attach fake lollipop sticks to the hole on the top of the ball. Be sure to leave enough space between each stick so that they will move when the ball is blown. Finally, add some candy to the balls and enjoy your DIY fake lollipop decorations!
Thing’s You’ll Need
- Craft glue
- Paper (white or colored)
- Empty cereal box, paper bag, etc.
- Paper platePopsicle sticks
- Scissors
- Markers, crayons, pens, or pencils (optional)
- Water.
Follow These Steps
Step One
To make paper flowers, you will need to cut out circles from a sheet of paper. The circles should be about twice as big as you want the flowers to be. You can either roll the circles into tubes, or simply lay them down flat.
Step Two
Dip the edges of your paper circles in a small bowl of glue, just as you would if you were dipping lollipops.
Step Three
Put the glued side on top of another circle that has already been dipped in a previous step. Make sure to keep an inch or two distance between each lollipop for easier drying time. Making too many at once will result in having some overlap which looks messy when dry! Continue this process until all lollipops are made! You can also use these sticks to make cake pops, or even add them as garnish for other Halloween themed desserts.
Step Four
Continue dipping and stacking in this manner until you have used up all your circles. Put them somewhere safe to dry overnight! The next day, they’ll be ready for the candy coating of your choice (chocolate or any other sweet!) A few notes about candy coating: I use a microwave method. You’ll need to buy a can of paraffin wax (you can find it in the canning aisle at the grocery store) and melt that in your chocolate, per the instructions on the can.
Tips & Tricks
You can use a variety of different sizes when making these decorations, depending on what size lollipops will work best with the occasion/party you are decorating for. These fake lollipop decorations also make great wedding favors- just add some ribbon and attach it with a card that says “Thank You” on the front!
Fake Lollipop Decoration Ideas
Frozen Fake Lollipops
With these, you will need to find a Styrofoam ball and cut it in half. You then take the bottom half of the ball and twist your lollipop stick right into it like an ice cream pop. Next, wrap styrofoam pieces around the top part of the lollipop to give it a frosted look.
Construction Paper Lollipops
To make a lollipop, you will need a circle of construction paper and a lollipop stick. Wrap the lollipop stick in tape around the edges so it doesn’t unravel, then slide right into the center of your paper circle. You can make as many colors or patterns as you want.
Tissue Paper Lollipops
You will need some tissue paper that comes on rolls at crafts stores and a hole puncher with various sized holes for circles and hearts. Cut out shapes from the tissue papers like snowflakes, flowers, leaves, etc., punch them through any shape hole (we suggest using different sizes), thread each one onto thin wire cut about two feet in length, and cover with a lollipop stick.
Paper Roll Lollipops
Cut open one end of your paper roll, slip it over the lollipop sticks, then start wrapping on your way down to create a swirl effect and decorate as desired.
Tin Foil Lollipops
You will need some tin foil which you can buy at most dollar stores or grocery stores for about $0.50 per sheet and scissors (optional). Have kids cut different shapes from the tin foil, then wrap around their fingers to make rings that will fit onto the top of their lollipops. Now they have an adorable ring made of candy!
