I created some candy lights for Christmas last year, and thought these lollipop balloons would be a perfect pairing. They could also be used for a birthday party. And like all the best DIYs, these are a cinch to make and could even be made by kids.



Materials: balloons, cellophane, dowels, paintbrush, scissors, black tape, white paint, string

Step 1: Paint the dowels white and let them dry thoroughly.

Step 2: Wrap the black tape around the top of the dowel and then continue wrapping down until the end.

Step 3: Blow up the balloons.

Step 4: Tape around the end of the balloon to the top of the dowel.

Step 5: Cut a square piece of cellophane large enough to wrap around the balloon and gather at the bottom. Secure the wrapped cellophane with a piece of string and cut off the ends. Fluff the cellophane a bit to give it some shape.

Voila!

Easy peasy! Just stick them into the ground and you’re ready to go!
