RELATED ICE CREAM THEMED KIDS CRAFT TUTORIALS ON GTMC: Ice Cream Truck and Foam Ball Ice Cream Cones
Unicorn Craft Supplies:
- Popsicle Sticks {3 per unicorn craft – jumbo or regular sized}
- School Glue
- Small Paper Plate
- Basic Paper Craft Scissors
- Colored Cardstock Paper {I used tan and pink}
- Glitter Cardstock Paper {for the horn}
- Small Decorative Flowers
- Sharpie Markers {black and brown}
Directions:
- First is building the ice cream cone from your wood craft sticks. Glue THREE popsicle sticks together in a triangle formation. You will want ONE popsicle stick shape PER unicorn ice cream cone craft.
- Set it aside to let it dry a bit.
- While that is drying, cut out a triangle piece from the tan cardstock, that will fit inside the popsicle stick shape.
- Once the popsicle stick shape is dry enough, glue the tan cardstock piece to it.
- If desired – use a marker to draw lines on the tan cardstock piece, to give the “cone” some dimension.
- Set the decorated shape aside again.
- Now grab the small paper plate and scissors.
- Cut the paper plate in half, straight up the center to make TWO equal pieces.
- Take one half for your ice cream craft and set the other aside.
- Next up – grab all your pieces of paper and the scissors again.
- Cut out a triangle horn and oval shaped nose for the craft.
- Now we are ready to assemble. Just like stacking a real ice cream cone, glue the half paper plate and cardstock cutouts, to the triangle popsicle stick shape you made earlier.
- Finally – when it’s all together, glue some small flowers for the unicorn’s hair {also known as the sprinkles!} on top and use the markers to draw on the final touches.
- At this point, you can add other embellishments you see fit like glitter, rhinestones etc.
- Set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!
- Don’t forget to share pictures of your unique popsicle stick unicorn ice cream cone piece on your social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
