In this case it will take several days. I started working on a piece that will have nine suckers or lollypops in it. I thought of cutting the sucker shapes from a large round dowel but I don’t have a good way or tools to cut them into even thicknesses like I want them to be. So the sucker shapes are made of laminated paper and the sticks are made of wood.
Nine suckers painted white and ready for some lollypop colors.
I have some thick paper material originally used to separate packaged products that come on pallets shipped to Costco. It is quite sturdy and I often use it to build shapes.
I cut disks out of the paper and glued six of them together to make about an 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick disk. Then I cut a notch in the side of the sucker into which the stick was inserted and glued in place before adding a coat of white paint.
Before giving the sucker a coat of white paint I glued one more disk to cover up the part where the stick is inserted into the side of the sucker. This will be the face of the sucker.
