Holiday Lollipop Tree

Offer guests an alternative to the traditional candy dish this season by making a tabletop treat using the Dremel XPR and the 18" Variable-Speed Scroll Station. A holiday lollipop tree will add splash of color to any room while offering a special treat to those with a holiday sweet tooth.

First gather your materials:

3/4" x 3/4" strips of pine
1/8" diameter by 11" long metal rod
Small piece of pine for the base
Small wooden ball for the treetop
Green and red acrylic paint and paintbrush
Assorted lollipops

Using the #1800 Dremel Scroll Station, cut the pine strips into varying lengths to create the tree branches. (Be sure to wear eye protection!) When cutting, keep in mind that the tree should have graduated levels. The lower branch is 9" long; the second is 7 1/2"; the third is 6 7/8"; the fourth is 6 3/8", etc. The top branch should measure 2 7/16" in length.

Once cut, sand the ends of the branches with the Dremel XPR Rotary Tool and the #430 Drum Sander and sanding bands. Use the #150 bit to drill holes in the center of each branch, in the center of the small wooden ball and in the base of the tree. The hole should be large enough for the metal rod to fit through. Next, using the same drill bit, create shallow holes in each of the tree branches. Stick a lollipop stick at the end of each branch, display and enjoy!

Gift-Giving Ideas for Everyone

Artist/Jewelry Maker
If you’re shopping for your creative loved one this season, why not give the perfect jewelry-making accessory. The Dremel rotary tool offers artisans and casual crafters the precision needed for the most creative of projects, including creating their own custom-crafted beads. For those serious about bead making, the Dremel #520 Polishing Wheel will help to buff the piece and create a shiny glossy finish. And, the Dremel 400 Series XPR (retail price $79-$149) or the new 10.8V Dremel Lithium-Ion Cordless Combo Kit (retail price $69 - $79) with a #661 drill bit drill are the perfect accessories to finishing off beads to create dangle charms.

Golfer
The golfer in your life no longer has to rely on manual wire brushes to keep their clubs clean. The Dremel Cordless Golf Cleaning Kit is the perfect gift for the golfer looking to shine up their clubs, and improve ball control and accuracy. The kit includes a brass brush for cleaning metal clubs, and a bristle brush for cleaning graphite clubs, wooden clubs, and golf shoe "soft spikes." It even comes with a clip-on Dremel carry bag that conveniently attaches to a golf bag for easy access on the course!

Woodworker
Why not turn your craftsman’s workshop into an all-in-one woodworking destination? The Dremel 1800 Scroll Station combines the attributes of a full-featured variable-speed scroll saw with the added versatility of a power take-off port. The saw's power take-off port operates the included Sanding Disc attachment and the optional Flex Shaft attachment. The 5" disc sanding attachment allows users to sand, shape, smooth and finish projects without leaving the footprint of the Scroll Station.

Do-It-Yourselfer
From fixing a sticky door to polishing sink hardware and sharpening lawnmower blades, the new Dremel 300 Series or Lithium-Ion Cordless make any household fix-up a breeze. It’s a sure bet for the do-it-yourselfer looking to accomplish any task.
