Supplies needed for Popsicle sleeve:

How do you make a Popsicle holder?

Step 1. Use a pencil to measure a piece of felt 3″ x 5″ and cut it out with scissors.

Step 2. Use a pencil to make two marks for buttons. This will be along the 5″ side. You’ll mark 1.5″ from the left and 0.75″ from the top.

Add a dot with a pencil. Repeat on the other side of the rectangle, measuring 1.5″ from the right side and 0.75″ from the top and lining up the edges.

Step 3. Thread a needle and sew your buttons onto the felt at the marks. I sewed two buttons at once to add more of a decorative look. Flip felt over so the buttons are face down on a table.

Step 4. Cut 2 pieces of elastic cord 3″ in length. Fold 1 piece in half and measure 1.5″ from the left side and let the two tails of the folded elastic extend 1″ beyond the top of the felt.

Pin to hold in place. Hand stitch the elastic to the felt and repeat on the opposite side. Finally, remove the pins. You can also use a sewing machine if you prefer.

Step 5. Place the popsicle onto the felt and wrap it around, looping the button into the elastic to hold it in place.
