Step 1: Cut ½” x 12” strips of felt.  You will need two of one color and one of another color for each lollipop.

Step 1 is to cut three strips of felt - two strips of your primary color and one strip of your secondary color. | OrnamentShop.com

Step 2: Stack the 3 strips of felt, sandwiching the single color strip in between the two matching strips.  Then tightly roll the strips, keeping the ends flush so that your lollipop looks flat and the felt isn’t bulging.

Step 4:  Cut the lollipop sticks in half with the scissors or an exacto knife.  Using the white paint, carefully paint stripes around the lollipop stick on an angle.  Let them dry.

Step 5: While the paint is drying, coat the outer roll of the lollipop with fabric glue and roll the lollipops in the glitter to add a bit sparkle and make it look like sugar.

Step 6:  Tie a ribbon to the stick and glue the stick to the back of the felt lollipop.  Then glue a ribbon or tie thread through the felt to make them into felt ornaments that can hang.  Let it dry and make sure the glue keeps the items secure.  You will need to be generous with the glue to make sure that your felt ornaments stay intact.

That’s it!  If you want to make your felt ornaments into cute package toppers, simply add a personalized tag and tie it to your lollipop or add it to the ribbon ornament holder prior to gluing it on the back as we did.  Makes a sweet gift for a friend, birthday party, themed party, sweet table or as a present for anyone who could use a little sugar in their life.  Lollipop felt ornaments are guaranteed to make you smile!
