How do i make flower pots w/ chocolate lollipops for shower favors?
You can get all the items at your local craftstores. You need:





Flower pots


Candy molds


paint brushes if you want the chocolate lolipops to be decorative


Melting wafers or Chocolate


Oil based flavoring if you want to flavor you lolipops different flavors


lolipop sticks


lolipop bags and twist ties


floral sculpting foam


fake moss to cover the foam.





Make the lolipops


put some foam in the flower pots


put some fake moss over the foam


stick lolipops into foam so they stand up nicely





Its a sorta cheap nice decoration.





Paint the Detail on the lolipop mold and let it set then fill the lolipop mold and gently tap out the air bubbles,insert stick and twist
Reply:Try michaels or hobby loby for some of the stuff they have stuff cheap. Also look at http://www.orientaltrading.com they have cheap party stuff. If you can get ahold of a catalog or request one they usually have free shipping on a certain size order. Ask them for a bridal catalog. They have them. Also look at garden centers for pots. Look in un expected places for wedding stuff and not usual wedding stuff because it is usuallly market up. Oriental trading is just really cheap for everything and they also have craft catalogs. Be careful because some of their suff is really cheaply made. Do not make center pieces too big or people cannot see eachother. If you are purchasing things just do not mention it is for a wedding or you will get a huge mark up from florests. Say it is for a baby shower or first comunion or quiencena party or something. I know someone who a florest wanted to raise prices on when they found out the same flowers were for a wedding with no changes. Look at fabric stores for tool (that mesh fabric if you need it) Just do not buy things at expected places buy them where you can get them the cheapest. Buy in cases if you can. That is if you need a case of vases or pots or whatever. Make a prototype and then decide what you want. Then buy in bulk. find what you want a sample and take it apart to see how they made it find a photo on the web or check out a book at the library and make sure you can make it before you buy all the stuff. Remember hot glue guns are your friend. Just do not burn the fingers and take plenty of time before. Hopefully you have friends to help.

If you want to make them, I suggest you go into a large craft store where they have candy you can mold and molds to make it with. You might be able to find molds for flowers and flower pots.
Reply:I just got a chocolate "flower" thing at a wedding reception. It's a chocolate (wrapped in pink foil) on top of a stem. Some sort of wire green ribbon holds it in place. The other thing given at the reception was a little pot with a baggie of dirt, a handmade little packet of seeds and 3 decorative stones. It was all wrapped in netting. The note inside said "Blank and Blank wish for you to have the beauty of wedding bells in your garden...followed by instructions for planting the "Canterbury Bells". You can probably get what you need at a dollar store.
Reply:o0o my friend did this for he sweet 16 ok well the flower pots should be lik medium sizd and you can paint them and decorate them with anything so you need the pots an ddecorations and some of that fake grss and that like styrofoam to hold them in place
Reply:Sometimes youcan find little pots at teh dollar store. Usually in the spring though, so you might have trouble. Michael's would be your next best bet. Get the little ones though, so youdon't have to make TONS of flowers. It will be more trouble than youthink. They also sell the Wilton white chocolate too. They have 40% off coupons in the paper every other Sunday. Get a few people to go with and use them. If youexplain to a manager that youneed lots of items, they sometimes let you use the coupon on your ENTIRE purchase. Good Luck!!
Reply:Not sure if this will help or even what your looking for.


Tarra cotta xsm flowering pots can be bought any where for cheap, some dollar stores carry them. cake mix chocolate, bake in the pots, ice with chocolate icing and then crumple up some choclate cookies dip iced cake into the crumpled cookie and then insert lollipop into the the top and it looks like a calla lily lollipop inserted in dirt. If this is a party favour for others to take home, place them in small bags leave them by the door so people can grab on the way out, include a fork if you like, but this will be a sure hit!
