Easy DIY Halloween Ideas: Ice Cream Cone

Easy DIY Halloween Ideas: Ice Cream Cone

Materials:

  • Brown Leggings or Sweatpants
  • White or Pink Long-Sleeved Shirt
  • Dark Brown T-Shirt or Black T-Shirt
  • Red knit hat
  • Red pompom
  • Red pipe cleaners
  • Construction paper (all colors)
  • Black Fabric Marker
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue and hot glue gun

 
Step 1: Draw diagonal criss-cross lines on leggings or sweat pants using black fabric marker to make the cone. It is easiest if you focus on one pant leg at a time and leave one ruler’s width between each line.
 
Step 2: Turn brown or black T-shirt inside out and draw “drippy” U-shapes using black fabric marker to create hot fudge. Cut along the lines and turn shirt right-side out. Cut up different colored construction paper into 2-inch x 1/2-inch pieces to make sprinkles and attach to “hot fudge” using hot glue.
 
Step 3: Wrap the bottom of a red pipe cleaner around a red pompom, twisting the pipe cleaner around itself so that it holds the pompom secure. Glue pompom and pipe cleaner to top of a red knit hat using hot glue. Gently curve the pipe cleaner into an arc.
 
Step 4: Dress your child in the ice cream cone pants and pink or white long-sleeved shirt. Place the hot fudge t-shirt over the long-sleeved shirt. Add the cherry on top hat and voila, you have a delicious ice cream sundae!
