They don't pop by throwing me and my husband tested them! Maybe you could do the same. Please note if you are throwing them at each other they can bruise!!! Lol

STEP 3

The lolly stick will secure your model to the geo, and the base will give it weight to stand upright. Use the cake base for larger models, CD's for smaller pieces, or I've just thought, cheap picnic or party plates with a hole in them.

Hope this will work for you :D

Thank you very much Kevin, for taking the time to help with my problem.
That gives me a few things to try next time, now I don't have to tape them to the table, to get them to stand up.
thanks Andy

Thank you for this great idea. I can't wait to try it (and an excuse to eat more ice lollies too).

Hi Natalie,

Obviously I would recomend getting lolly sticks with lolly attached (Solero is my fave :D ) but you can get them from craft shops in big bundles without the lolly. (How silly is that :o )

In the UK (Essex) they are £1.15 for 200, or £3.65 for 1000, from http://www.rapidonline.com which weirdly enough is an electronics company !

Just type lolly stick in their search box.

PS Loved your Ascot photos :D
