The short version is: I use Roman PRO-543 universal wallpaper adhesive (paid link) and alternating layers of newspaper and brown wrapping paper. 6,731 cartoon lollipop swirl stock photos, vectors, and illustrations are available royalty-free. You can read about my paper maché process and materials here. I then covered the entire lollipop base with two layers of paper maché. I cut long strips of construction paper and taped them around the edges of the jack o’ lantern shape to create a sort of wall all the way around (not shown, but use your imagination). I laid the front panel in place on the supports and used a few pieces of masking tape to hold all this stuff together. These will serve as little supports to separate the front and back of the lollipop. I cut some strips of foam board and bent and taped them into little triangle shapes, and taped them onto the remaining foam board pumpkin shape. I cut these pieces apart with an X-acto blade and glued them in place on another one of the pumpkin shapes with some little drops of Tacky Glue. The idea here is to give me wide lines to cut out so that they create deep grooves in the pumpkin’s face that I can later cover with paper maché. Done! Whew! Here’s the finished lollipop along with my jack o’ lantern lollipop.I took one of the pumpkin shapes and sketched a bunch of shapes to cut out to create the 3d relief effect for the jack o’ lantern’s face. I hand-painted the spiral pattern with acrylic paint and a brush. Here it is drying along with a jack ‘o lantern lollipop and three peppermints. I spray painted the lollipop with a light gray primer coat, let that set, and then I used masking tape and newspaper to protect the stick part so I could spray paint the candy part green. I covered this whole connection area with five layers of paper maché. I attached the stick and the candy part with lots of masking tape, and I added a little ridge around the connection point with a strip of craft foam. It’s easier to work on the stick and the candy part of the lollipop separately and attach them later. ![]() I covered the stick with three layers of paper maché. I stuffed this tube with crumpled up newspaper to help it be more sturdy, using small pieces of newspaper and packing them in with a broom handle. I made the stick out of brown wrapping paper that I rolled up into a tube and taped closed. The short version is: I use Roman PRO-543 universal wallpaper adhesive (paid link) and alternating layers of newspaper and brown wrapping paper. Now that the base for the candy part of the lollipop was done, I applied two layers of paper maché over the whole thing it’s outside drying in the pic above. (I forgot to take a picture of that step! You can see this same step in my article about my paper maché peppermint candies, third photo down.) I cut out a long strip of poster board and taped it in place around the edges of the circle to create a sort of wall. I then laid the foam circle with the spiral on top of the one with the supports, and used a few pieces of masking tape to attach them all the way around. I taped these supports on the other foam board circle. I then made a bunch of little triangular supports out of strips of foam board, bent and taped closed. I taped the spiral in place on one of my foam circles. The layers of tape were a quick and easy way to add a little more thickness to the spiral I want it to have a nice raised effect on the lollipop. Then I flipped it back over and cut out the spiral with scissors. I then flipped over the craft foam and covered the back side with shipping tape as well. I covered the whole printout with a layer of heavy duty shipping tape. I cut out this shape and laid it on a sheet of craft foam (a soft rubbery foam you can buy at any arts and crafts store). I designed a 16″ spiral shape in Photoshop and printed it out. See my article about drawing precise circles! I started by drawing a 16″ circle on foam board, twice, and cut ’em out with an X-acto knife. ![]()
