I designed these Monster Ice Pop Holders in the Summer of 2013 when my boys were nine and twelve, and they went wild for them! My daughter was just a baby at the time, but she is now five and it seems these ice pop holders are just as fun!

        * Using glue, attach small strand of black yarn to BASE at round 3.

        * Using glue, attach teeth next to mouth in desired location.
