- Step 2 - Secure in place with a small rubber band on the stick underneath the candy on the lollipop stick.
Stage 2: Add Features to Your Ghost
- Step 3 - Grab a marker and draw your spooky ghost face on one side of the lollipop.
Stage 3: Decorate Your Butterfly Wings
- Step 4 - Cut 4" of black ribbon and tie over the top of the rubber band that is holding the coffee filters in place. This gives your ghost pop a more elaborate look and makes the frilly bottom stand out more.
