Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Swirl Lollipops
• Craft Foam
• Pipe Cleaners
• Googly Eyes
• Tape or Glue
• Ribbon

1. Purchase flat swirl lollipops, one per guest. Make the homemade baby shower favors with the medium size lollipops, not the large.

2. Attach the googly eyes to the face (lollipop.) Spread them apart about 1 1/2 inches. You can tape or glue the eyes on.

3. Use a dime to trace a circle on the craft foam. This is the baby's nose. Cut out the circle and glue on the lollipop, just center and below the eyes.

4. Draw an oval, with a flat top and bottom on the craft foam. This is the base of the pacifier. It should be about 3 inches from one side to the other. Cut out, but don't attach just yet.

5. Draw a circle about 3 inches around on the craft foam. Cut it out. Once you have it cut out, cut a hole in the center of the circle.
   
   This is the handle of the pacifier.

6. Cut a pipe cleaner in half. Place one piece aside, and one in your hands. Cut the one in your hands in half again.
   
   Using this piece, put it through the center hole of the pacifier handle.

7. Placing pressure, push the pipe cleaner through the oval from Step 5. The pacifier handle should still be attached. Twist the pipe cleaner ends together on the back of the pacifier. Glue or tape the pacifier to the baby, in the position of the mouth.

8. Make a bow and attach it to the top. (If favors are for a boy, omit this step.) The bow should be on the top, off side. Tape or glue to attach the bow.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also tie a bow to the bottom, on the stick.
• These homemade baby shower favors can be in any color lollipop, and the foam can be in the colors of your choice as well. You can color coordinate them with colors to match the shower if you choose.
