Okay now you will be sanding the wood to make it nice and smooth.

You can do this with a piece of sanding paper but I would advice not to since it is alot of work (unless ofcourse you have sawed out the perfect shape, then you won't need to sand much)

But I decided to use a sander. There isn't much I can explain here just keep sanding t'ill you are happy with the shape. A tip here is to draw your shape onto the wood and then sand T'ill the pencil is gone (remembering to stop when the pencil is gone ofcourse ;) )Then sand the front, sides, bottom and back of the popsicle to ensure it's nice and smooth.

TIp: if you secure your piece of wood it will be much easier to sand. Remember that securing your wood could cause damage to the wood (I have that a little but in the end it isn't all that bad since you'll be painting it later)
