How to fold an origami lollipop

Round a square into a candy disc, then fold a white strip into a thin stick and glue the candy on top. Draw a white swirl.

You need: 1 square sheet, bright pink on one side, and a white strip about half as wide. Medium, 6 steps, about 6 minutes.

Steps

  1. Corners behind. Candy first. Pink side up, fold all four corners behind, the same amount each.
  2. Round the candy. Fold the eight new corners behind, just a little, to make a round candy.
  3. Stick: new sheet. Set the candy aside. Take the white strip, standing up tall.
  4. Stick in half. Fold the strip in half from side to side, right edge over to the left edge.
  5. Thin stick. Fold it in half again the same way. Press hard: now it's a thin, stiff stick.
  6. Candy on the stick. Glue the candy on the top of the stick.

Sweet swirl!

Draw a white swirl from the middle out to the edge. Tie a ribbon round the stick to make it a gift.
