I like using a ball that is slightly smaller than my opening so that it fit nice and snug without having to glue it into place. This is only because I want to use my bucket for other things later one. I have done lollipop topiaries in the past and just hot glued the FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam Ball into place. So it is up to you! The key is to either glue it into place or have it fit snug so that when someone takes a lollipop off the entire ball doesn’t come with it!

I used a 5″ ball in a 6″ bucket that I found at Target.

Lollipops! Make sure the wrappers are nice and tight. Twist them at the base before inserting into the ball. This makes them easier to insert and keeps them nice and secure. Begin by poking lollipops in the center, creating a line, and working outward.

It took almost 40 lollipops to fill my 5″ ball. Plenty to go around (and then some) for a weekend BBQ!

I asked her how many licks she thought it would take to make it to the center of the lollipop and she looked at me like I had 3 heads. Oh that’s right, because of Netflix my kids live in a day and age without commercials!

What occasion would you use a lollipop topiary for? A birthday? Baby shower? Graduation?

    I’ve decided to make one for Memorial day weekend. I’m wondering how long it will last

    I’m pinning this for an idea for our school dance/parties. We are always trying to find ways to raise money. Selling lollypops is okay but this looks really appealing!
