The designs can be bought from embroiderygarden.com. They are designed to insert the sucker stick through a little hole left in the bottom and the top is open. There is also a set of Christmas holders. Same thing - pattern leaves a little hole in the bottom to insert the stick through. I have made both sets and were a big hit.

The only problem I encountered with the designs was.....they were digitized to stitch closed on the wrong end so when you put the sucker in, the faces were upside down! So I had to sew them closed on the sewing machine. Then I discovered that I had only printed out the directions for half of the designs. When I tried to find the embroiderer I purchased the designs from, I found she is no longer in business.
But, by golly, I managed to make them up in spite of all that
