DIY Faux Cake Pops

Hello, hello!

With just a week until Christmas I'm sneaking in one more holiday themed crafty post before I take a break for the holidays.

After creating my cookies, drinks, cake and candies, I thought why not add a few cake pops into the mix as well? You can never have too many faux goodies, am I right?! 😍

The cake pops that you see here are Christmasy only because I used red and green, but a simple switch of the colors will lend them to any season. Check out how easy they are to make:

I started my project with these miniature foam spheres that I picked up at Dollar Tree. Using a crafting knife I sliced off a small portion so that the sphere could sit on a table top without rolling away.

Next I added paper straws (also found at Dollar Tree) that I cut in half to shorten the length. Using a chopstick I pressed into the foam to create a hole, then inserted a straw with a bit of hot glue to hold it in place. If you try to insert the straws without making a hole first they will likely bend, so be careful!
