Materials:
2 1/2" styrofoam balls
1 1/2 yards of lightweight cotton fabric
Sewing machine or needle and thread
Hot glue gun/glue
Glue
Scrapbook paper
Cone templatea
Polyester stuffing
Ribbon
Pins
Cut fabric into strips about 44" long x 1.5 " wide using pinking
shears. Sew down the middle of the strip, ruffling fabric as you go with
sewing machine. You can also ruffle the fabric by hand if you do not
have a sewing machine. Your finished ruffle should be 8" long. You
could also use pre-ruffled fabric or ruffle trim if you do not want to
make your own!
Trace cone template onto your paper and cut out. Glue edges to make cone shape. I recommend not
using hot glue for this step since you need a bit of extra time to get
the edges together just right. Fill your cone with stuffing to help hold
the shape.
Cut a circle roughly 8" in diameter out of your fabric. Wrap the fabric
around the ball and hot glue to bottom, gathering as you go. Do not
worry about how the bottom looks, it will be hidden inside your cone.
Place hot glue around inside edge of your cone and stick the covered styrofoam inside. Hot
glue your ruffle around the top of the cone, twisting as you go around.
Be sure to glue it to both the paper and the styrofoam ball. If you would like to hang the cones, cut ribbon to desired length and use a pin or hot glue to secure it to your ice cream!
