Do you enjoy crafting? These felt lollipop flowers are an easy felt craft project that’s fun to make for spring. This simple DIY tutorial shows you how to create colorful felt flowers that hold lollipops, making them perfect for Easter treats, party favors, or small handmade gifts.
You can even create a little spring magic by placing the felt lollipop flowers in the garden to surprise kids on Easter morning. This spring craft idea is simple enough for beginners and a fun project to make with kids.
First, gather the supplies for the felt flower project. Then follow the directions listed below. For this project, we received the lollipops for free and participated in #MagicofSpring. Our craft project, thoughts, and words are all our own. This post has been updated since its original publishing.
Instructions for Making Felt Flowers on a Dowel with Lollipops
Directions for making felt flowers
Directions for the flower lollipop
Start by cutting out shapes of flower petals from the felt. You want them larger than the lollipops, and you will need about 6 per flower, minimum.
Also, cut out two to three leaves from the felt. An easy way to cut leaves is by cutting a rectangle and going point to point on the diagonal, keeping the center larger than either side to create the leaf shape.
If you are not confident in making the flower petals and leaves yourself. You can use a Felt Tulip SVG and PDF Pattern & Tutorial (this is a digital download pattern). Then follow the instructions.
Taping the lollipops to the dowel
Tips for Making Felt Flowers with Lollipops
I reinforced mine with wire to make them last longer and be more durable. You could skip this step, but they may not hold together as well.
Adding the flowers to the dowels
Next, get at least three lollipops, and you will tape them together with the wooden dowel.
Then you'll begin to hot glue the petals onto the sticks just below the lollipops. Do this step all the way around until it looks like a flower.

Next, use a block of Styrofoam and place it in a mason jar or place it into a vase while you continue making more.
Ideas for using them

A magic spring garden
After you have a bunch of felt flowers with lollipops, you can have the kids plant magic jelly beans (seeds) and later go to the garden to see the flowers that popped up. The next morning, after you put them into your garden.
Some other spring crafts ideas I usually do are set up a candy bowl or two full of Dum Dums, and jelly beans in bags for the kids. Here's our video of our little pop-up garden with #TheMagicOfSpring
With so many spring gatherings, I enjoy making my jelly bean cake with two colors tutorial as a treat for the spring festivities for the family. I also like creating spring bannersto make things more festive. Then we enjoy a fun garden party that includes painting eggs along with other activities.
What activities or ways do you enjoy celebrating Easter?
When I was making the tutorial for my grandkids, they couldn't resist trying to make their own. To keep them busy, I cut out felt oval shapes of three sizes and various colors, and cut a tiny slit in the center. Then, I let them slide the lollipop stick down the slit to add them to the base of their lollipop for their own flower lollipop.
They'd take it off to eat the lollipop and make another lollipop flower.

These are such cute ideas. Dumdums are the perfect size for little ones. I will have to wait until my Gbaby is a little older to make the flowers though.
