Her work is like nothing I’ve seen before – SO cool. I’ve been following her on FB for a while (thanks to you sharing her page!), and her stuff just blows me away.

Hi Shelley!

The actual lollypop is the foam pipe insulation. It’s a dark grey color & is hot-glued all around in a spiral shape. THEN… I sprayed the lollypop with some Kilz Primer, & hand painted the whole thing red with a small white (painted) stripe. IT’S ALL PAINTED WITH ACRYLIC PAINT!!!

HAHA! I actually had to go back & look at it to see!

Thanks
Chrissy M.

Love your props! I am doing a candy theme party also and have a question regarding your lollipops with the foam pipe insulation..
I see the red as the foam insulation but what is the white? Or how did you do it to look like that?? I cant figure it out! Help!!

Your Welcome Maggie!!

I’m so NOT a felting purest!! I will use any & every technique that I have at my disposal to get the job done!! I’m actually just restocking my needle felted sushi right now. They start off with wet felted wool over foam bases, then needle felting color, some hot glue felt fabric, and a little powdered chalk for shading. It’s a hodge-podge, but they look cool when they are done!!!

Thank you for the tutorial! I’ve been having trouble making little legs and tails, and didn’t even consider wet felting them. Your stuff is amazing-I’d be happy if one day I were half as talented as you!!

Thanks! I’ve played with stiffening felt with glue before, & even into loose shapes by draping it over stuff. It was kinda like a *DUH moment when I saw a tutorial on how to “mold a felt face” for doll making!!
