It’s getting nice and warm and that means it’s time for Popsicles! I love Popsicles. Like, love love them! I could live off of them. Since we live so far away from a store, the only ones that we will be able to enjoy is the freezer pops. My kids always complain about it being cold on their hands, so I made them some holders to help keep their hands warm.
This is the major reason why I made them, they always ask for a paper towel to wrap around it. With 4 kids and them having 2 to 3 Popsicles a day, it really starts to add up and costing.
This is how I made them:
I took some felt and cut a piece 4×6 inches.
I folded it in half and sewed the three sides. I didn’t even flip it inside out, I just let the stitch on the outside. This could easily be done with a glue gun too.
Insert a Popsicle and that’s it! Super easy and quick, only took 5 minutes to make these 4.
I wanted to make some more fun ones, so I made one to look like a sword. I cut two little strips and then cut a hole in the middle of the 4×6 piece.
Stuck the small pieces in the side and then sewed it altogether.
Fun huh? My boys loved it!
Of course with my Star Wars loving boys, I HAD to make ones that looked like light sabers. I just made the holder out of black and then glued the other pieces onto it.
And for my little girl, she needed something a little more girly. So she got a wand. I put the ric rac into the felt and sewed it into the holder.
A fun way to enjoy Popsicles.
I will be using these too, because I don’t like my hand to freeze either.
I found some fun patterned felt and made some with it, love how they turned out!
My kids enjoying a yummy treat on a warm (and windy) day. And you better believe I enjoyed a couple Popsicles while making these!!
These are perfect for frozen Gogurts too!
