Paint Splat Ice Cream Cones - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Paper Plate & Paint Splatter Ice Cream Cones

If you have been a long time of follower of us, you probably already know that paint splat crafts are becoming my FAVORITE as of late.

It’s basically a “symmetrical” craft where you squirt various paint on a folded sheet of paper, squish together and open up to reveal a fun, marbled design inside. Then we take those paint splat masterpieces and make them even better with some added crafting techniques! Like with today’s idea – adding cardstock embellishments to make it an ice cream cone!

So today I present to YOU our Paper Plate Paint Splat Ice Cream Cones kid craft idea! Still just as easy as my past tutorials you will find on our site BUT in my opinion – more fun since no two will ever be alike!!! PLUS {as an added bonus} just like REAL deal, these ice cream craft pieces can come in multiple colors and have ANY topping you like!

Follow the full step-by-step tutorial below to see what I’m talking about!

Happy crafting this summer season, my crafty friends!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished paper plate and paint ice cream creations on our Facebook page! XOXO #gluedtomycraftsinspiresyou

PAIR YOUR PAPER PLATE PUFFY PAINT ICE CREAM CRAFT WITH —> Cupcake Liner Ice Cream

Paint Splat Ice Cream Cones - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Materials Needed:

  • Paper Plates – one per ice cream cone craft {small or large – I used small}
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Craft Scissors
  • Tulip Puffy Paint {or any craft paint in a squirt bottle}
  • Markers
  • Stapler
  • Baby Wipe
  • optional materials for this craft – glitter, sequins, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

  • Please make sure you have a good working area that can get dirty because paint will squeeze out of the sides of this craft!!!
  • First fold your paper plate in half. Straight up the center.
  • Unfold and squirt some paint on one side of the paper plate {I like the Tulip Puffy Paint for this particular step since it’s in a nice controlled squirt bottle} Be sure to keep the paint inside the paper plate and not place too much down.
  • Once the paint is down, go ahead and fold/squish your paper plate together again. Be sure to rub your hand all over the folded piece, so the paint will cover your the inside nicely {paint WILL more than likely squeeze out the sides, so be sure to pay attention to that and clean up with baby wipes!}
  • Now carefully unfold your piece to reveal your “marbled ice cream” design inside. Sprinkle some glitter/rhinestones on top of the wet paint if desired to create sprinkles. Set aside your piece.
  • To finish the Paper Plate Ice Cream Cones – cut/staple a triangle shape {the ice cream cone} out of tan/brown cardstock to the decorated circle paper plate. Then cut/staple a circle for the cherry on top. Add other embellishments you see fit. Set aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly.
