Owl Brooms

Owls on broomsticks – oh so cute!  I made these for my daughter’s sorority sisters using a retire stamp Warmest of Wishes.  You could use any stamp – or punch art – to make up these cute lollipop brooms for Halloween.  (Punch art would be so cute if you are just making a few!)

Of course, I punched three blank owl shapes to give my owl a little more “umph” and to help steady the lollipop (Tootsie Roll pops)  FYI – I got 16 lollipops in a bag.  There are many many many examples of these brooms on Pinterest  – so here’s how I ended up making mine.

Use a coffee filter and fold it in half (I found brown filters at my grocery store)

Fold it in half again –

and once more.  You will have 8 layers of filter.

Use your papersnips to make a fringe. 

Open it up to the first half fold and make a tiny, tiny snip at the center. (Really tiny!)  When you open it up, you can poke your lollipop stick through the hole and tie it with Baker’s Twine.  I colored the sticks with a brown Sharpie before I placed it in the filter.  Glue the owl onto the front – using it to help balance your treat. 

And last, but least – have you heard about this upcoming special?  Wow!!  Hugs, Fran
