How to Make a Washcloth Lollipop Baby Shower Favor

Washcloth Lollipops

Washcloth lollipops make great baby shower favors, and the guests can leave them behind for the Mom-to-be to use for the new baby! These lollipops have brought me great success and I will now share how to make them with you!

Things You'll Need

• Baby Washcloths
• Lollipop Sticks
• Curling Ribbon
• Small Rubber Bands
• Lollipop Bags

Instructions

1. 

   First, lay your washcloth, print side down, on a flat surface. Fold the washcloth in half, and then, starting away from the folded end, fold it three times, you will have a small flat roll. Starting from one end, take the folded washcloth and roll it up. Pick it up and hold it tightly for the next step.

2. 

   Take your rolled washcloth and insert it into your lollipop bag, be careful not to let it come undone. Many people like to use tape or pins to hold it in place, but I do not, as it may mess up the washcloth and the idea is to give a gift the Mom can use. Secure the bottom of your lollipop bag with a small rubber band.

3. 

   Now, take your lollipop stick and insert it into the treat bag through the rubber band. The rubber band should be tight enough to hold the stick in place but not so tight you cannot insert the stick. Now take a small length of curling ribbon, tie it around the stick to cover the rubber band, curl the ribbon and you are good to go!

Tips & Warnings

• Your first few lollipops may not come out right, but don't give up!

• There are many, many sellers, myself included, who are more than happy to do these for you, and they are surprisingly inexpensive, just check out eBay if you want some but do not want to make them

• Use them in place of bows on baby shower gifts!

• Handle them carefully to prevent the sticks from shifting out of place
