I’d like to call them “Popsicles,” but that’s a trademarked name. “Ice pops” are a great treat on hot summer days. But, as you know, they can be very messy, especially for little kids. It isn’t pleasant to have your ice pop drip down to your elbow and onto your clothes. Here’s a way to drip-proof your ice pops:

1. Before you unwrap your ice pop, take two unscented plain white tissues without lotion. Fold one in half twice to make a square. Fold the other in half twice to make it oblong.
2. Get a cupcake paper.
3. Unwrap your ice pop and poke the stick through the center of the tissue square first, then through the center of the cupcake paper.
4. Wrap the oblong tissue around the stick.

Voila! A drip-proof ice pop on a stick!
