Girly Ice Pop Holders

Did you see my post yesterday featuring the Monster Ice Pop Holders? I designed them in the Summer of 2013 and the following Summer, I decided I needed something tailored towards my daughter.

So, I took some things little girls love, made them into appliques, and created the "Girly Ice Pop Holders".

These popsicle covers are a great way to keep the little ones cool during the summer, without freezing tiny fingers! They are great for pool parties or summer birthday party favors. They are a huge hit with the kids!

I designed these Monster Ice Pop Holders for my boys, when they were small and they went wild for them! 

Now, my daughter is just as excited to use popsicle covers! Truth be told, she likes the Monsters just as much as the "girly" designs!

I've been wanting to move this pattern over here for a while, but I could never find the time... until now!
