Roberta Rabbit here with an awesome summer craft! I’m going to show you how to make an ice cream cone necklace – it’s cute and fun!
What you need:
Brown cardstock paper, craft glue, gold sparkles, round beads in pastel colors, small round red bead (optional), flat head pins, needle-nose pliers, string, extra beads (optional)
What you do:
- Cut out a 1.5 inch circle from the brown cardstock. Make a slice halfway to the middle point, like this:
2. Starting at the cut, wrap the circle around to make a cone. Glue it as you do this.
3. Trim the top of the cone. Make a swirl of glue around the cone and dip the cone in gold sparkles, if you like.
4. Stick your flat-head pin through the base of the cone (the flat part should be at the tip of the cone). Stick one or two beads on top of it.
5.Use the needle-nose pliers to make a loop at the top of the flat-head pin (you can get a grown up to help with this).
6.Put the ice cream cone on a piece of string and add extra beads, if you like.
7.Tie the two ends of the string together and slip the necklace over your head. Now you’re really ready for summer!
Hi, If you make the cone out of FIMO or other similar type dough, by rolling out a flat circle, it will last as long as the beads do and be water proof. Your friend —Sonicstarbug
THIS is awesome. I’m SO trying this! It’s so cute!! Matches with a lot too.
This is actually a really cute idea, I could see making it to hook on to something like a friendship bracelet too. Matching set.
