1. Glue the bowls together

Dollar Tree Plastic Bowl Lollipops instructions

1. Glue the bowls together

The first thing you want to do is prepare the lollipop tops. For this first Bowl, I’m just adding a little hot glue to all the little edges of the bowl. You can use as much or as little hot glue as you like. It really depends on where you are placing your lollipops. If you’re putting it outside and your climate is windy you may prefer to use something like E6000 or a more permanent adhesive. Next, I will take the other bowl and place it on top and wait for it to cool. This is what it looks like.

1. Glue the bowls together

Now I’m going to do with the next large bowl. Again, I add dots or a line of glue around the top edge then place the other bowl on top and wait for it to dry.

You can make as many of these bowls as you like. Here's a quick look at all of the bowls that I've made so far. You can use a variety of colors.

2. Place your stakes into the ground

Next, I will map out where I want my lollipops to go. I will use broom handles as the base for my lollipops, but you could use any sort of wooden dowel. I will take the top off each of the handles and hammer them into the ground just a bit to give them some stability.

I will be using red pool noodles as my lollipop stick. I will use athletic tape and twist it around the pool noodle to make candy stripes.

3. Decorate your Lollipop stick

For the next step, I will be using red pool noodles as my lollipop stick. I will use athletic tape and twist it around the pool noodle to make candy stripes. I’ve done this to three of the poodle noodles. I will show you an alternative as well if you don’t want to use pool noodles.

I will slide a pool noodle over each broom handle then use hot glue to secure the bottom of the bowl to the top of a pool noodle.

For an alternative version, you could leave the broom handle black or cover it with electrical tape or athletic tape in any color you like.

4. Attach the lollipop bowl to the stick

I placed the large bowl onto the pool noodle. This would give more surface area for the bowl to stick to the lollipop stick. I added some hot glue to the top of the noodle, and then I place the bowl on top and waited for it to cool.

For the wrapped broom handle, I used a serrated knife to cut a small piece off the top of the pool noodle & slid it onto the broom handle, just to provide a more stable base for my bowls.

5. Wrap the lollipop

For the next step, I will be using clear cellophane wrapping paper. I cut a piece of cellophane wrap for each bowl set & wrap each one so that it looks like a lollipop. I then used ribbon to tie around the base and secure the wrapping paper around my bowl. Now my lollipop is all wrapped.

Other tips, tricks, and options:

  • You can add some candy canes to your walkway if you like.
  • You can embellish this by adding a candy wreath to your front door.
  • If you don’t like the bowls you can always use a styrofoam ball instead and spray paint it or use giant Christmas ornaments. Maybe even wrap it to look like tootsie pops
  • You could also make giant paper plate lollipops.
  • If you don’t want to use the red ribbon you can always use pipe cleaners.
  • If you can’t find the broom handle you can get a mop and take the mop head off. You can use the mop head to make this Santa
  • You can make other items to stick in your yard like gum drops, plastic wine glasses, ping-pong balls decorated like candy, paper plates that look like candy, etc
  • You can add a Christmas tree and add things like faux snow, clear ornaments, or small ball ornaments that you decorate like candy, string lights, snowflake ornaments, jingle bells, candy cane ornaments, small candies, lollipop ornaments
