Ideas for ice cream crafts with their own hands

Sometimes it can be difficult to decide exactly how to decorate a handicraft and what to make it from. Therefore, we recommend that you first familiarize yourself with this selection of ideas.

Origami

To create this toy need only paper of format A4. It is necessary to cut out a square shape from paper.

Steps to create an ice cream cup, from which you can take the stuffing out of the cup:

  1. Divide the square paper diagonally and unfold it;
  2. To the line that appeared on the diagonal, fold the left and right sides;
  3. Small triangle, which remained at the top, fold down and open the whole structure;
  4. Fold the sides again, but before that omit the triangle, and turn the figure. We have a cone;
  5. To make the stuffing itself, we take a square piece of paper;
  6. Fold in half twice, to determine the center;
  7. Fold all corners to the center;
  8. Fold the corners, creating a semblance of a circle;
  9. It remains to put the filling in the carob, and done. Origami dessert ready!

There is a way in which you need only one, square, leaf:

  1. Fold the paper diagonally;
  2. Fold the opposite corners and direct to the line. You get two different triangles;
  3. Postpone the corners outward and turn the paper.
  4. The sides of the bend inward toward the line and fold the side corners;
  5. Lower the triangle and make two folds on it;
  6. Using a marker or marker pen, pencil add texture to the cone.

Paper popsicle

You only need paper (white or colored), scissors and, if desired, paints and an ice cream stick:

  • You need to fold a piece of paper in half.
  • Draw a popsicle and cut out along the contour.
  • You can take paint, colored pencils, watercolor and paint a cold dessert.
  • The last action is to glue the halves so that between them there is a stick.
  • To make the popsicle more beautiful, you can cut out patterns from paper and glue them on.

If you have some colored thread, cut it into small pieces and glue it to the base of the dessert. It turns out a beautiful and voluminous sprinkle, which is very pleasant to touch.

Crocheted ice cream

You will need hooks, crochet ropes (multicolored, among which there is brown or orange) and schemes. This way of creating sweet food is the most difficult. The child can help decorate. Beads will be good for decorating.

With the help of knitting, you can create a popsicle, a cup or a cone. The size of the toy is limited only by the amount of thread and the child's desire.

Cardboard ice cream

For the simplest method, you will need cardboard, scissors and glue:

  • From colored cardboard (or from white, later you can color) you need to cut out a triangle, a few circles of different colors.
  • Next, you need to take another sheet of paper or cardboard and glue the cut out shapes in the shape of a horn.
  • Triangle - carob, and circles - balls of ice cream.
  • You can experiment with your child and decorate the ice cream. Cut the paper into pieces, in the shape of sprinkles.

You can also make popsicles, or a cup:

  • For popsicles, you need to cut out cardboard in the shape of a stick (a greatly elongated oval).
  • And you need to cut two rectangles with rounded edges. Glue the rectangles so that the stick remains between them.
  • To make a popsicle cup, simply cut out a semicircle and two rectangles that extend to one side.
  • Glue the rectangles so that the semicircle stays between them, but most of the way out.
  • Unnecessary string can be cut into many small pieces and glued to the base of the dessert as a sprinkle.

Plasticine Ice Cream.

Also a simple way to create a toy, for which you need only plasticine and a toothpick. You need to make balls of different colors and lengthen one side to make an elongated oval, which tapers to a point:

  • From a piece of orange plasticine you need to mold a cone. Square or diamond-shaped. Use a toothpick to create texture on the cone.
  • An elongated oval must be twisted into a spiral so that the thin part goes up.
  • You can decorate the ice cream with sprinkles of small balls.
  • If you prefer ice cream cups or popsicles, make them.
  • To create a cup, you can mold plasticine in the form of a cup or a solid rectangle. In the first case, to create an ice cream, you need to mold a circle, and in the second case, a semi-circle will be enough.
  • From small pieces of clay, you can create a sprinkle or a pattern of the cup.

To make a popsicle, you need to mold plasticine in the form of an elongated oval or rectangle with rounded edges. A popsicle stick made of plasticine will not hold ice cream, it is better to take a wooden stick.

Braided popsicles with colored rubber bands

Small rubber bands, which are usually used for bracelets, can be used to make ice cream. To weave a very small ice cream need plaiting machine, hook, colored rubber bands, 7 of which are orange.

Following the scheme, you need to arrange an elastic band on a loom. Throw them on top of each other in the right way, and at the end carefully remove. Painstaking work that requires a lot of attention and care.

Attach the finished rubber band ice cream to a bracelet or use as a keychain for a child's school bag.

Ice cream out of felt paper

For this craft you will need felt (several colors, one of which is brown or orange), half beads (multicolored, two of which are black), thread in the color of the felt, absorbent cotton, and a heat gun:

  • On paper, you need to draw a triangle with rounded corners and half a circle. Place the cut out shapes on the felt and cut out along the contour. Each figure should be cut out twice.
  • Next, we sew two triangles together around the edges and create a pocket, leaving the widest part is not sewn. Also sew two semicircles together, leaving room for stuffing.
  • We take the absorbent cotton and fill the pockets of shapes. At semicircle sew on half beads to make the eyes. To finish, left to sew a semicircle to the triangle.
