How to Make a Washcloth Lollipop on a Spoon Favor
Making a homemade gift for your next baby shower allows you to make a customized gift for the mother-to-be that is both practical and attractive. Washcloths are a necessity for parents to help clean between squirmy toes and behind little ears. Utilizing new washcloths and baby spoons, create your own washcloth lollipops. Add the completed lollipops to a wrapped package, insert them into a small flowerpot for display, or offer them as a party favor.
Instructions
-
Rolled Washcloth
-
1
Lay a washcloth flat on the work surface in front of you. Roll the washcloth from the side closest to you to the side farthest from you, keeping the roll tight, creating a rolled tube.
-
2
Reposition the rolled tube so that the tube is aligned up and down. Roll the tube along the length to create a snail-like roll.

-
3
Secure the roll by inserting a safety pin through the washcloth.
-
4
Insert the snail-rolled washcloth into a small cellophane bag. Insert a baby spoon into the bag. Rest the bowl of the spoon against the back of the rolled washcloth.
-
5
Gather the opening of the bag snuggly around the spoon’s handle, keeping the bag as tight as possible against the washcloth.
-
6
Tie a 1/4-by-6-inch piece of ribbon around the spoon handle and bag to secure it.
Folded Washcloth

Place the washcloth on a flat surface. Fold the washcloth over 1/2-inch. Continue folding 1/2-inch until the washcloth is 1/2-inch wide. Repeat the step with a second washcloth in a coordinating color.

8
Place the two folded washcloths on top of one another. Fold them in half.

9
Insert the bowl of the spoon in the center of the folded washcloths.

Tie a piece of 1/4-by-6-inch ribbon around the washcloths and spoon to secure them.

Tips & Warnings
Fill a small terra cotta flowerpot with glass beads. Insert the ends of several lollipop washcloths into the beads to display them.
For thinner washcloths, roll two washcloths into tube shapes. Place the two tubes on top of one another before rolling them into a single snail shape.
