Fake Bake Faux Lollipops

Candy Decor


When I came across a few silicone lollipop molds, 
I couldn't resist making up another set of faux treats 😋
Here is how easy it was to complete:

Using the molds pictured here and Hobby Lobby's air dry clay I made a large batch of lollipops.
You can find the flat mold and the swirl mold on Amazon.

Inserting the lollipop sticks into the clay can be a little tricky as you want to make sure to completely secure the stick without poking it through the front of your design.  Plaster of Paris can be substituted for this project if you find working with liquid easier.

Note:  I was trying out the Hobby Lobby clay for the first time with this project.  It smells a bit when wet (like natural clay) and you have to work it more as it's not as refined as other brands, but you can't beat the price!  It dried well and held acrylic paint just fine too.

When I ran out of lollipop sticks, I decided to make a few candies as well.
If you need more sticks you can find some  here.

Once the clay had fully cured (I waited 24 hours) I used acrylic paint to add color.

When the acrylic paint was dry I added swirl details with puffy paint to about half and then coated all with glitter.  I like to add my glitter by applying a nice layer of spray adhesive, sprinkling the glitter and then finishing up with another coat of the spray adhesive.

I like to stock up on my spray adhesive and glitter at  Dollar Tree.
