Witch Hat Treat Cones

Handing treats out at Halloween is extra fun with these Witch Hat Treat Cones. They are easy enough to make assembly line style for a whole class of kids, and special enough to make just one or two to share with family. 
MADE BY: SAMANTHA TAYLOR   |   TIME: 30 MINUTES
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE   |  SIZE: 6” x 3 ½” 

Supplies:

• Glue Dots® Glue Squares
• Patterned Paper cut to 6” x 6”
• Patterned Paper cut to 3 ½” x 3 ½”
• A way to cut a 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” circle (die cutting machine, template, or stencil)
• Scissors
• Candy
• Ribbon (optional) 

Directions:

1. Cut a 3 ¼” circle. Set aside.
   
   
2. Take a 6” square piece of paper. Right side facing up, put Glue Squares® all along the far right edge.  
   
   
3. Flip 6” paper to wrong side facing up and put Glue Squares® all along the top edge, being careful not to press the squares on the underside onto your work space. 
   
   
4. Roll the paper into a cone so that the edges with the Glue Squares® on them overlap to form the seam. 
   
   
5. Use a scissors to cut off the extra flap on the cone, making a flat bottom edge for your hat.  
   
   
6. Cut about a ½” flap along the bottom edge of the cone every ½” or so.  
   
   
7. Place Glue Squares® on the flaps, and fold them towards the center.  
   
   
8. Place candy in the cone and press your 3 ¼” circle to the flaps on the bottom of the cone to create the brim of your hat.
   
   
9. Optional: Use Glue Squares® to add decorative ribbon to the brim of the hat.  
   

Notes: Glue Squares® give an exceptionally strong hold and work great on both paper and ribbon.  

If you like to hand out non-candy treats at Halloween, you can also stuff these cones with shaped erasers, bouncy balls, or other small gifts.
