Stitch up the backs of the Popsicle, using a running stitch, on either side of the stick. This will help keep the stick from moving around too much.
Use hot glue to attach the small square to one end of the popsicle stick.
Insert the stick into the Popsicle of the matching color. Optional: You can write the color names on the other side of the sticks for older kids.
