Sabrina and I have volunteered to make props for Seedling Theatre's Willy Wonka play at the end of July. We are making the candy store. We volunteered for several reasons; we need a project to work on, this counts as Sabrina's art class, and to help Seedling Theatre.
We both made Marshmallow Pops and Twisty lollipops from Model Magic. I know that Marshmallow Pops didn't exist at the time of the story, but we had the materials to make them and this is also Sabrina's art class. Besides, if they aren't used in Willy Wonka, they can be used in other plays.
We also made Swirl Lollipops from dollar store jump ropes. We cut the jump ropes in half for these and hot glued them. You could use the whole jump rope, if you strengthen it so it doesn't flop over. The cut ends have frayed a bit, so we need to fix them.
