- Brown Crayon, Marker or Coloring Pencil
- Scissors
- Small Paper Plate
- Orange Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Black Craft Paint
- Small Paint Brush

Directions:
- First print out our blank ice cream cone printable. You only need ONE print per pumpkin ice cream craft.
- Once you have it printed out, grab your choice of coloring medium and color in the ice cream cone design completely brown.
- When done coloring, go ahead and trim out the ice cream cone shape with your scissors.
- Discard excess paper and set aside your decorated paper cone till later.
- Now grab your small paper plate and your orange craft paint.
- Squirt a small amount of craft paint in the center of the paper plate.
- Use the foam paint brush to move the paint around, until the paper plate is completely covered.
- Now grab your small paint brush and black craft paint.
- Dip the tip of your small paint brush into the black craft paint bottle. You don’t need a lot of paint on the brush.
- Paint a few lines on the orange painted paper plate to give the “pumpkin” some dimension.
- Next up – the “sprinkles” of the craft. Grab your glitter glue.
- Squirt/draw on some lines of glitter glue on the top your painted paper plate.
- When done decorating the paper plate, set it aside to allow it to dry a bit.
- Now grab your sheet of brown cardstock paper, as well as the scissors.
- Cut out a medium sized rectangle “stem” for on top of the pumpkin cone. This will be the “cherry” of the craft.
- Set it aside.
- Now grab your green pipe cleaner.
- Twirl it around your finger to make what I call the “licorice vine” for the pumpkin ice cream cone.
- Now the LAST STEP! To finish off the pumpkin ice cream cone craft, grab your cone paper piece cutout, the decorated {dry} paper plate, the embellishments and your stapler.
- Staple the decorated paper plate to the ice cream cone cutout, as well the cardstock stem and pipe cleaner vine.
- And that’s it! Add even more embellishments you see fit {maybe some small bows or stickers} and display proudly for ALL to see!
- Don’t forget to share pictures with us on your various social media sites! You can find us on Instagram or Facebook #gluedtomycrafts
