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:
- Cut a 3 ¼” circle. Set aside.
- Take a 6” square piece of paper. Right side facing up, put Glue Squares® all along the far right edge.
- 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.
- Roll the paper into a cone so that the edges with the Glue Squares® on them overlap to form the seam.
- Use a scissors to cut off the extra flap on the cone, making a flat bottom edge for your hat.
- Cut about a ½” flap along the bottom edge of the cone every ½” or so.
- Place Glue Squares® on the flaps, and fold them towards the center.
- 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.
- 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.
