Adding customization to your event is one way to make it memorable, and this quick, simple trick will do just that! With so many uses for lollipop sticks {ideas at the end of post} why not make yours a one-of-a-kind match for your party?!
- Materials
- Lollipop sticks //
- Tissue paper //
- Scissors //
- Glue //
Grab some sticks from the cake decorating section of any large retailer, craft or party store. I used these Wilton ones:
Gather your tissue paper, choose one or more that match your event.
Cut into squares/rectangles about 3″ wide. The length will depend on how many sticks you are covering.
Cut each of these into 1″ increments.
Add glue to one edge of a tissue paper rectangle.
Apply rectangle to a lollipop stick.
Apply glue to the middle and opposite edge.
Roll the tissue paper around the stick.
Your sticks are ready to use! Just make sure you put the edible stuff on the white end :)
Uses for custom lollipop sticks:
Cake pops
Polka dot pops
Chocolate lollipops
Chocolate covered cheesecake
Oreos on a stick
Pie pops
Pizza on a stick
Panini pops
Donut on a stick
Chocolate covered peeps
Macarons on a stick
Rice crispy popsicles
Mini cotton candy
Pancake pops
Really, anything can be put on a stick! Any more ideas? Leave in the comments!

April 8, 2014 at 11:36 pmWhat a cute idea to add something special to your treats. I bet you could even do this with washi tape.
Machelle says
April 9, 2014 at 9:06 amOh absolutely! Cutting up glassine treat bags, sheets, or cupcake liners would work too! So many options! :)
