How to Make Paper Plate Lollipops

Paint various lollipop designs on the back of 2 paper plates (or one paper plate if the back of the lollipops will be hidden wherever you display them).

Painting a lollipop on a plate

Cut two small squares out of each paper plate as seen in the video. Glue the paper plates together, making a hole for the dowel to be inserted. Once dry, insert the wooden dowel.

Wrap cellophane around the paper plates and tie a ribbon around them (this keeps them attached to the dowel).

  1. I made the lollipops today. Adorable ,easy,fun.i put them into planters out front. I added Rick’s wrapped in colored cellophane to hide the base.

  2. I’m so excited to make these! I bought everything today to make 6 of them! Thanks for sharing this project!

  3. I just made these! I used 10 inch paper plates. And after I painted them and let them dry, I sprayed them with clear glitter spray. I also bought the plastic bags at Michaels and use the 40% off coupon it was size small and I got 16 bags and it was a better value than buying bags or cellophane wrap at Dollar Tree. I used 5 & a half inch bows and I got 2 bows for a dollar at Dollar Tree.

  4. I really love these lollypops I am going to make them at Christmas time in all different colors. Thank you!

      1. I have used these lollipops for years now. I made them years ago, using 10 inch styfoam I got at Walmart. Icovered them with different colors of cellophane, and dowl rod. But after years of use the styfoam is destroyed. I am going to try the paper plates they will be much cheaper. thanks for the idea
