Create small ones to make lapel pins or make them larger and glue a magnet on the backside to create refrigerator magnets.

Instructions:

nstructions for the glittery cone above:

1. Print out the ice cream cone template and trace around each marking with a pencil. Turn the paper around and you should be able to see the markings through the paper. Now place the paper over the appropriately colored sheets of fun foam and retrace the markings you see onto the foam. Cut out the pieces.
2. To make the sparkly cones you will then use the dimensional paint to decorate the ice cream in the appropriate color. On the cone you can create a waffle look by first drawing stripes parallel in one way and then drawing stripes perpendicular to these.
3. Sprinkle same color sparkle over the dimensional paint outlines and tap off the excess glitter. Let the paint thoroughly dry.
4. Once dry, you can glue the top of the ice cream to the bottom cone piece.

To create the beaded and sequin cone:

1. First adhere the pink gems to the ice cream top. Then sew on sequins and beads to fill the areas in between.

3. Glue the top part of the ice cream on the bottom cone section.
4. If using as a hanger, glue a ribbon to the backside of the top of the cone.
