Easy DIY Ice Pop Hand Warmers for the Kiddos

September 2, 2014 by Bre 12 Comments

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!  

Keep your kids' hands warm while they enjoy their favorite frozen ice pop treats! These no-sew DIY Freeze Pop Holders are so easy to make! Get the full tutorial here.

 
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.)  🙂

    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

      Hi, Suzanne! Thank you for your sweet comment! Yes, I was totally wasting a million paper towels and napkins on all these ice pops, so problem solved! Thanks again!!

    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.

      Now that’s a brilliant idea, Seana! Hahaha – maybe I could take the idea to Shark Tank and see if Mark Cuban would invest? 🙂
