    It's easy to find this information - just google "make sweet trees". There's also some demonstrations on you tube (how did anybody do anything before you tube I ask!).

    Basically, you need an oasis foam or polystrene ball and a piece of wooden dowl for the trunk, mount it in more oasis in a flower pot. Wind some nice ribbon round the dowel, or paint it, and cover the oasis in the pot with scrunched up tissue paper.

    Cover the ball with something so you don't see the colour. Tissue paper / metallic paint or just whatever you want.

    Use chupa-chup style lollies and pushing them in the ball at regular intervals (for sweets - in wrappers obviously - use a glue gun and stick the sweets to the ball instead).

    Hope this helps.

    I have just made 6 lollipop trees, going to be used as table decorations. I cut the lollipop sticks down to make it less bulky in the middle of the ball. I used approx 40 per tree
