Author: These adorable Fourth of July Mickey and Minnie Pops are the most adorable holiday treat or party favor! Kids love these, and the free printables make them easy to put together!
We have made Mickey and Minnie pops for a few different occasions and holidays now, and these patriotic 4th July ones have to be one of my favorites. The red white and blue color way really suits Mickey and Minnie!
So, if you’re trying to make some adorable Disney-inspired treats for your Fourth of July celebration this year, these are perfect! These Mickey and Minnie inspired 4th of July Pops would even be perfect for taking on a Disney trip!
How do you make these Mickey and Minnie 4th July Treat Pops?
Step 1: Gather your supplies.
First you’ll need to get everything ready. You can download the printable Mickey head template at the end of this blog post, and the other supplies needed are listed below.
You will need:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- Clear Plastic Fillable Ornaments (Amazon sells them year round – 3.15″ works best from here!)
- Free Printable Mickey/Minnie heads
- Red White and Blue M&Ms (or other candy or treat)
- Ribbon – use plain red, white and blue or patriotic patterned.
- Cardstock paper
- Hot Glue Gun
- Scissors
- Wire Cutters
Step 2: Print your templates
Grab the printable at the end of this blog post.
It’s always best to use heavy cardstock paper to print projects like this to give a better result. There are four different sheets and each sheet is a different color. Choose one or all for your creations.
Step 3: Glue On The Popsicle Sticks.
This makes them easy to hold, just like a lollipop
Use hot glue to attach a popsicle stick to the back of each Mickey or Minnie head. Make sure to glue them high enough to give the finished pop enough stability when it’s held.
Once they’re glued and the glue has dried, they will look like this.
Step 4: Prepare the fillable ornaments
Now you’re ready to add the treats inside.
You will need one plastic fillable ornament half for each of your Mickey and Minnie Valentine Pops (like I did on these Bunnies for Easter). Use a pair of wire cutters to snip off the tab on the top of each ornament used for hanging. It doesn’t need to be perfect because we will cover them later with a bow.
Step 5: Fill And Glue.
Fill each half with a handful of patriotic M&Ms or other candy. Run a fat stream of hot glue quickly around the rim of your ornament half. Then center the Mickey or Minnie head stays above the circle, and firmly press down for a few seconds until the glue dries.
Step 6: Add a Bow
I used cute patriotic pattern themed ribbon and made little bows to attach to the tops of the Minnie pops, and to the bottom of the Mickey pops. Just use a little bead of hot glue to attach them.
Mickey gets a bow tie, and Minnie gets a hair bow! This also helps to cover up the little lip you can’t quite cut off on the fillable ornament
And this is what your Mickey and Minnie Valentine Pops will look like when they’re finished! They turn out SO cute and are so super simple to make with the free printable Mickey and Minnie heads!
