Halloween Lollipop Trees

  These lollipop trees were so fun to make and SIMPLE! Whip up one or two, or THREE for your family in no time...they would be fun for so many occasions!
 You will need:
A few pots
Styrofoam Balls (domes would work too!)
Lollipops
Acrylic or Spray Paint
Vinyl or Contact Paper

 After applying 2 coats of acrylic black paint, I adhered my lettering. I used contact paper and my cricut to create the phrase.
 Then I simple placed the styrofoam ball on top of the pot and started poking in the lollipops. I found that it was easier to stick them in straight down, even when going around the sides of the ball, to avoid the lollipop sticks from getting stuck against each other inside of the ball.
 I went through over 200 lollipops and still needed more. So buy the BIG bag.
 I think they look so fun and festive in our entryway. The kids like them too.
 I always give my piano students a treat after their lesson. I think they will be eating off of these for a long time. That's a whole 'lotta dum dums!
Anyone else have a love for pinterest? That is where I found my inspiration for this project. Thank you Dubien Family!
Pin It!

  4. What a cute idea! I'd have to buy an extra bag of Dum-Dums so that I wouldn't be picking them from the trees to eat! lol.
