Lollipop Ghosts

The hardest part of making these was keeping my children from eating all of the lollipops quicker than I could wrap them up. The second-hardest part of making these was the fact that my three-year-old REALLY wanted to help, and obviously you need to let children participate with Halloween decoration-making, but girlfriend seriously needs to work on her ghost face-drawing skills, just saying.

These ghosts make cute party favors for kids, but you can use them to decorate in lots of fun ways: use string to hang them from light fixtures and such; fill a bowl with them for a centerpiece; line a mirror or mantle with them. (One caveat: if you’re hanging them with string, make sure the string is clear, or the effect can be a little too macabre for a kids’ party.)

LOLLIPOP GHOSTS

What You Need:

  • Two paper napkins per ghost
  • Assorted lollipops
  • Ribbons (or your daughter’s hair elastics, if you forgot to get ribbon and that’s all you’ve got)
  • Sharpie

What You Do:

  1. Unfold one napkin so it lays flat. Place a second napkin (left folded like normal) in the center of the unfolded napkin.
  2. Place a lollipop in the center, and fold the napkins in half.
  3. Gather the napkins together around the neck of the lollipop, and secure.
