Hi friends,
We’ve got some easy, glittery, lollipops for you! Even better, they’re sugar-free and use recycled cardboard & chopsticks lol I don’t know how many of you save your chopsticks from your takeout(I normally don’t) but… with littles at home who LOVE to play with them and their collected colorful froyo spoons, we’ve built quite a collection. If they’ll let me, I think a recycled spoon post could be in the works haha. These were so simple and could easily be used with popsicle sticks or twigs. Check them out below!

What You'll Need
Cardboard
Paper Plate
Glue
Large Jar Lid
Craft Paint & Brush
Pencil
Chopsticks
Scissor
Glitter
The Steps
Trace the large lid and cut out.
2. Paint in desired color/s and let dry for 3-5 minutes.
Naomi chose pink for hers. I painted the 2nd circle in a pale yellow and the 3rd with a peach and pale yellow, creating an ombre effect.
3. Create your designs with glue and then add different glitters.
1st lollipop: Naomi made a basic swirl.
2nd lollipop: with glue and a little bit of water, I spread glue on the upper third section. I then added a thin line of purple and sprinkled the irredescent on the upper portion. I added glue to the bottom section and used gold glitter for a sunrise effect.
3rd lollipop: I added 1 line at a time from the center out to the edge for a pinwheel effect and added glitter. I then repeated with another line and glitter.
4. Let the glitter dry about 5-10 minutes before gluing on the stick.
5. Add glue to the wider end of the chopstick or a twig and let dry for 10 minutes.
That’s it!
The irredescent color isn’t as visible on camera.
Happy crafting!
Amanda and Naomi
