These Father’s Day LolliPOP Prize Ribbons are simple to make, sweet to taste, and include a pun to boot! What more could you want? A folded paper medallion is adorned with a sweet lollipop and a punny note of appreciation: #1 POP!, You don’t suck!, Sweetest Pop! Every father likes to hear that he is the best so go ahead and shower him with compliments. Just don’t forget the candy, because that’s important.
