Spooky Lolli's
Even though I'm not a big Halloween fan, I have to admit that it ranks up there as one of the most craft-able holidays. These spooky lollipops are a go-to favorite of mine because they're super easy to make and they're enjoyed by kids and adults alike.
You can experiment with various fabrics. When I didn't live near a fabric store, I successfully used layers of gauze from the drug store. I used linen for the ones pictured here. Burlap can also work, if you want a fall fabric. Cut your fabric into squares that are almost twice as long as the lollipop down to the stem. Cover the lollipop and bunch at the base, tie with ribbon, and add googly eyes. You can substitute orange or patterned ribbon for a more festive touch or even simply twist tie with pipe cleaner if you're super pressed for time.
I gave these out at work a few years ago and one of my coworkers pinned the wrapping after eating the lollipop, so you saw just a white square with googly eyes pinned to her desk - which I then really enjoyed, of course!
