Christmas Tree Sucker Supplies

Here’s what you need to make Christmas Tree Tootsie Pops:

Tootsie Pops

Green paper (not heavy paper like cardstock, just colored printer weight paper)

Scissors

Adhesive runner

Narrow red ribbon (if you don’t want to mess with tying bows, you could glue a pom pom on top instead)

Instructions

Step 1: Cut a green piece of paper in half lengthwise (you only need one half for each tree). Fold the paper in half lengthwise again.

Step 2: Cut the long side of the paper (NOT THE FOLDED SIDE) at an angle, so it’s smaller on one side than the other.

Step 3: Fringe the long side of the paper that you just angled. I cut my fringes about 1/8 inch wide.

Step 4: Use a pencil to curl up the fringed part of the paper.

Step 5: Turn the paper over and run an adhesive runner all the way down the folded edge (this is NOT the side that you curled up).

Step 6: Starting at the wide end, adhere the folded end of the paper to the sucker stick, wrapping it around and up the stick. Fluff up the “branches” if needed.

Step 7: Tie a bow at the top of the sucker stick with narrow ribbon. (Tying small bows can be a hassle, so you could glue a pom pom or star on top of the stick instead.)
