Candy Ornaments You Can Make
Lollipop ornaments
Use disc-shaped Styrofoam to create your lollipop ornaments. We have three different kinds of lollipops on our tree.
Small Candy Lollipop
Place the small candies in a large bowl. (We actually found these colorful styrofoam balls that looked like candy) Spread the disc with regular white glue, then dip it in the candy and let dry, repeat on the other side. You may need to add a little more to fill in any bare spots after drying. Insert a wooden dowel as a lollipop stick. Spray lightly with glitter spray, let dry.
Rope pacifier ornament
This ornament did not use foam, but simply rope style candy found at the dollar store. Let the candy dry a bit so it’s not sticky and slightly stiff. Using a glue gun, create a coil with the rope, gluing as you go. Add more strings until you have the size you want. You may need some extra help with this step of the process. (There’s a reason we use a low-temperature glue gun! Ouch!) Insert a wooden dowel for the stick. We had to sharpen the end of the stick slightly with a pair of scissors. Let it dry overnight so the candy hardens. Spray lightly with glitter spray.
