With warm weather and kids there are always ice pops around. They’re a summertime staple! I love them because they’re less messy than regular popsicles, but I don’t like how my kids always complain about how cold their hands are while eating them. To solve that problem I made these DIY freeze pop holders!
These freeze pop holders are ridiculously simple, but seriously effective. And so, I love them.
DIY Ice Pop Holder Supplies

You need just three supplies for this project, or four if you decide to embellish your ice pop hand warmers as I did.
- Acrylic craft felt
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Embellishments (I used rainbow ric rac)
How to Make a No-Sew Freeze Pop Holder
STEP ONE
Cut felt into 2″ wide strips. I used pinking shears to create the zig-zag edge that you’ll see at the top of the freeze pop holder. Regular scissors will work just fine! You may need to use fabric scissors to cut the felt, as they’re generally sharper than regular scissors.
STEP TWO
Hot glue down the long sides of the felt strips.
STEP THREE
Fold the felt strips in half, and press along the glued seams.
STEP FOUR
Cut the ice pop holder pouch down so that it’s shorter. Embellish however you like, or leave it plain!
STEP FIVE
Watch your kids enjoy their icy treats without complaint! 🙂
Tip: For a healthier spin on ice pops, freeze yogurt pouches. My kids think they’re getting a special treat when they’re really having a healthy snack.
Now I’m going to go use one of my Koozies for a special adult treat. (Too bad they don’t have rainbow ric rac.) 🙂

Thanks, lady!!
The Seana Method says
That is pretty much brilliant, Bre! I bet you could sell these in the grocery aisle next to where you pick up the box of ice pops.
Bre Eggert says
Now that’s a brilliant idea, Seana! Hahaha – maybe I could take the idea to Shark Tank and see if Mark Cuban would invest? 🙂

Hi Bre! Thanks so much for coming by and taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate every one of them!
So happy that you stopped by, because it brought me to your blog!
I love this post! My kiddos enjoy ice pops and are always complaining about them being too cold. So I wrap paper towels around them, which often turns into a mess. I think your idea is great!!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Have a fantastic week,
Suzanne

I love this idea Bre! My kids take all my dish towels every time they get a popsicle! I pinned this to make!
Bre Eggert says
Hi, Sierra! Thank you! I’m glad you like it. It will take you five minutes to make – so easy!
