1

Place floral foam inside of a Planter Box. I was able to find foam that fit perfectly into the box, but you may need to cut your foam down to size. My favorite tool to use for this job is a bread knife. Simply place a mark where you want to cute and using a bread knife and a cutting board trim your foam.

I bought my faux grass at The Home Depot. You have to buy it by the yard and it ends up being a pretty large piece. You will just need to cut a small piece of grass to put on top of the floral foam. You can trim this down to size with scissors or a box knife.

Place a Gold Foil Striped Straw onto the cake pop stick and trim so that there is about 1/2″ of stick showing. You will need some of the stick exposed so that you can insert the letter through the faux grass and into the floral foam.

Grab a drill and a drill bit that is close to the size of a cake pop stick. Figure out how far apart you want the word “GOAL” to be spaced out. Using a drill, create holes so you can easily insert your letters.
