Make a Cake Pop Holder

Here's a few ideas for making a cake pop holder.

WALL SHELF CAKE POP HOLDER



Pictured is a hanging wall shelf which I removed the hardware and had drilled.  The thickness is a perfect depth for the sticks. It cost less than $20.


AROUND THE HOUSE CAKE POP HOLDER

My favorite containers for holding cake pops are re-purposing something that coordinates with my party theme or colors.  I've figured a way to transform practically any container into a cake pop holder.

Supplies you will need:

  • container
  • shredded paper
  • latch hook rug canvas (found mine at Hobby Lobby)
  • string beading (also could use small crystals, smooth pebbling, jellybeans etc)




First step, place the shredded paper in container, filling about 3/4 or more.



Next, cut the latch hook canvas to about an inch wider than your container. Fold in edges to fit container. Nestle on top of shredded paper with folded edges facing down.



Now to hide the canvas, place a single layer of beading on top.



Gently, insert the sticks of cake pops.

TA-DA!  A cake pop display!

STAIR STEPPED DISPLAY/CAKE POP HOLDER

This holder is good for messages or to display more than one cake pop design.


I  have no carpentry skills so I had this one made.  Just the materials cost was around $50.


SMALL CONTAINERS FOR GIFTS


Dollar bins, dollar stores and clearance items are great place to find containers.  Simply cut a piece of styrofoam to fit the container, add shredded paper, and insert the cake pop sticks.  Look in the party section of craft and discount stores for cardboard containers.
