You will need 2 baby washcloths (preferably different colors or patterns so it pops), a toddler spoon for the stick, tape, cellophane (in the baking section to wrap cookies with) from Michaels, and string to tight it all up together!
You're going to roll each of the wash cloths so that the white side is facing up and the colored side is facing down.
Do the same thing with the second wash cloth. Be sure to tape the ends so that it stays put. It will make the next step so much easier.
Whichever wash cloth you want on the outer layer, make sure you put that one on the bottom. Put the second wash cloth on top. Roll the top wash cloth 2-3 times before you wrap the bottom layer over so when you're done, it ends more evenly. As you're rolling it, it should start to look like a snail!
When you're done rolling, tape both ends down so it stays kaput. It should now look like a delectable cinnabon!
Next, take one of the spoons and tape it down to an uglier side because that will be the back.
Finally, stuff the whole washcloth lolly into the cellophane bag and tie it up with string. I decided to use twine because that was the only ribbon I had. Anddd... voila! A washcloth lolly!!
I put my lollies in a bucket I had lying around. A batch of 10 needed 3 buckets for me. The extra one went as wrapping decor for one of their gifts. Depending on the colors you have, feel free to mix them up so add the perfect boost of color to your baby shower table decor!
It definitely felt more meaningful that the mother-to-be can take home a part of the shower home with her and use for little baby niece. I thought it added more of an umph than buying generic table decor that I'd probably end up throwing away or stuffed in the black hole closet of mine. Make your own batch for the next baby shower and I promise it will be a hit!
