Variations
For a longer-lasting but nonedible pin, unwrap the
lollipops and paint them with white glue or polyurethane. Insert
the lollipops into a potato half so they stand free when drying.
Then arrange the dried lollipops on foil to form the shamrock.
Squeeze glue on the sticks where they overlap and allow to dry.
Tie bows around the sticks, and add a safety pin to the
shamrock's back.
