Provide the mother-to-be with a party favor bag filled with baby washcloth lollipops. Use washcloths with lined edges that contrast the color of the cloth itself for the most polished look.
Steps
-
Lay a washcloth on a flat surface.
-
Roll the bottom of the washcloth up and over. Continue rolling the washcloth until you have formed a tight roll.
-
Turn the washcloth 90 degrees. Make sure that the end with the colored lining is facing you.
-
Roll the washcloth from the bottom, up and over, until you’ve created a tight circular roll. The lining of the washcloth will create a colored swirl in the center of the lollipop.
-
Hold the washcloth tightly and push it into a lollipop bag.
-
Secure the bottom of the bag with a small rubber band so that the washcloth lollipop does not come unfurled.
-
Insert a baby spoon into the wrapper. Push until the cup of the spoon touches the bottom of the washcloth. The rubber band will hold the spoon in place.
-
Tie a decorative ribbon in a bow around the rubber band. The ribbon should match the washcloth colors for the most attractive look.
Tips
- If you don’t want to use baby spoons, then you can simply use generic lollipop sticks.
- For variety, you can also use small burp cloths in addition to the washcloths to make the lollipops.
- For a fun presentation, fill a small transparent vase full of candy-covered chocolates. Push the lollipops between the chocolates to create a candy and washcloth bouquet.
Warnings
- If you want the washcloth lollipops to stand up in a presentation, be sure to use small washcloths. If the lollipops are too top-heavy, then they will fall over.
