CHRISTMAS LOLLIPOPS

This is a great idea for Christmas Secret Santa gift or give away when you have guests come visit during the Christmas Season.  It makes a perfect Christmas gift from your child to their teacher too!
All you need is.....
  Large Lollipop  4" x 4"  (I find these at Dollar Tree)
  Snowman face   (you can draw it or get free clip art from the internet)
  White copy paper
  Adhesive to attach snowman paper face to lollipop
  Fleece, Flannel or Felt for cap and scarf
  Jingle bells
  Christmas ribbon
  Christmas embellishments
  Embroidery floss  small amount (color to match cap/scarf)
  Hot glue/glue gun

The large lollipops are a dollar each at the Dollar Tree. Do not remove the plastic wrapper from the lollipop.  Do not remove the front or back label, as the front one will be totally covered with the snowman face.  The ingredient label on the back, should remain intact.
Search the internet for Free Snowman candy wrapper templates, save to your computer, size them and print them. Or you can just paint the face yourself. Cut it out and make sure its just a little bit smaller than the lollipop.  Use double sided adhesive tape or run it through a sticker maker, then adhere to the front side of the lollipop, leaving the ingredient list intact on the backside. 

Hat......
I used a piece of plaid flannel cut to 10 inches lengthwise by 7 inches wide. Please refer to the photo to see placement.   Fold about 1 inch up twice lengthwise to create the cap band. Positioned it on the lollipop, just over the eyes, flip it over, overlap the sides on the back and glue it together. Tack the cap onto the lollipop every inch or so with the hot glue to keep it from sliding off.  Gather the top of the cap, use the embroidery floss to tie it up, leaving an inch or so of the fabric at the top, fluff it up, tie some ribbon and 2 jingle bells to it. 

Scarf....
Cut a strip of 1 and 1/2 inches wide by 10 inches long of the fabric for the scarf, tie it around the stick just below the lollipop, position like a winter scarf and hot glue it.
Add snowflakes or embellishments of your choice to add your finishing touches.

And there you have it!!! 
If you look a little further down in my blog, you will see some I made with a  Halloween theme last year.  They are pretty cool too!

Hope you have as much fun as I did making these!  Make them for your friends and family.  They will love them!
