This is a great kids craft idea that will keep them busy and cool this summer. All you need are popsicle sticks, some glue, and some imagination! Come see how to make these adorable unicorn ice cream cones today.
Craft Supplies:
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- School Glue
- Small Paper Plate
- Paper Craft Scissors
- Cardstock Paper
- Glitter Cardstock Paper
- Small Decorative Flowers
- Sharpie Markers
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
