How to make baby washcloth lollipops
Baby washcloth lollipops are a non-edible treat that can be given as a gift to a new mother or used as a party favor at a baby shower for a memorable keepsake for each guest. The lollipops are easy to make and are a relatively inexpensive gift or party favor. You can choose washcloths in colors that complement the theme of the baby shower or the new mother's nursery décor. A simple ribbon can be added to the baby washcloth lollipop to add a festive flare.

1
Lay your baby washcloth on your working surface with any side facing upward. Fold about 1 inch of one edge of the washcloth over and smooth the fold line.
-
2
Fold over another inch of the washcloth along the same edge and continue until you have folded the entire washcloth to make a long strip that is about 1 inch wide.
-
3
Roll the strip up like a jellyroll.
-
4
Cut a square of clear or semi-transparent cellophane wrap and wrap the square around the jellyroll.
-
5
Gather the cellophane wrap underneath the jellyroll and wrap an elastic band around the cellophane to keep it in place.
-
6
Slide a lollipop stick or thin wooden dowel through the cellophane and slide it into the elastic band to hold it in place.
-
7
Cut a 10-inch-long piece of 1/2 inch wide ribbon. Wrap the ribbon over top of the elastic band and tie the ribbon in a bow.

Tips & Warnings
To turn the baby washcloth lollipops into a small bouquet, make 3 to 4 lollipops, gather them together in your hand and tie a ribbon around the lollipop sticks to keep them together.
To make a large, centerpiece display of the lollipops, use long, thin wooden dowels for the lollipop sticks. Make 10 to 12 lollipops. Fill the bottom of a vase with green floral foam and insert the ends of the sticks into the foam. Wrap a large 2-inch-wide ribbon around the vase and tie it in a bow.
