For this DIY project you will need a box of chocolates, lollipop Christmas tree ornaments, candy liners, a glue gun and paper clips.
I wanted to have a chocolate that was large enough to be a base for the place card. Next time I would buy a solid chocolate and not one with a soft middle because the middle came out when I put the lollipops in. Place them in the candy liners. You can use as plain or fancy as you want.
I wrapped the bottom of the candy cane Christmas ornament with saran wrap.
I would not recommend a real lollipop because I think they would be too heavy to support.
Heat a utensil that you can melt the chocolate with. I used a bread blender. You just want something that will melt a big enough hole to put the lollipop through. If you don't do this the chocolate will break when you poke it into the chocolate.
When heated poke it through the chocolate.
Set the lollipop into the chocolate. The chocolate will harden around the lollipop and make it sturdy enough to stand.
Put your place card into the paper clip and hot glue.
Glue onto the lollipop.
The nice thing about these place cards is that when you are done with them you get to eat the chocolate and you can take home a Christmas tree ornament. This would be nice as a fun Christmas holiday theme or a kids birthday party.
