You want to start by creating a flat surface on the ball of the lollipop stick. To do this, set a piece of 80 grit sandpaper on your table. Hold the ball end of the lollipop stick. Now keeping the stick straight up and down, rub the ball end against the sandpaper to create a flat surface.
You don't need to sand for very long: maybe 5-10 seconds. You can see in the image above that I only sanded away a bit to create that flat surface.
Next, after removing any excess dust, add a small drop of super glue to the sanded edge of the lollipop stick. Then, top with the wood base of your tree.Hold it in place for about 20-30 seconds while keeping the tree and stick aligned as straight as possible.

Repeat the process to create as many stirrers as you'd like.
