It’s officially the last day of summer, and while I’m a little sad to see the season end, I’m also ready for cooler days and cozy treats. To say farewell to summer, I made these playful ice cream cone treat boxes that are perfect for party favors, small gifts, or holding gift cards. They’re charming, simple to assemble, and bring a smile to anyone who receives one—after all, everything’s better presented inside an ice cream cone.
Supplies:
- Cricut Explore™ (or another cutting machine)
- Brown, white, and rainbow cardstock
- Glue stick
Instructions
Follow these steps to create your ice cream cone treat box:
- Open the project in Cricut Design Space and cut and score the pieces: the cone top and bottom from brown cardstock, the ice cream scoop from white cardstock, the cherry from red cardstock, and sprinkles from rainbow cardstock.
- Fold along all score lines on the cone pieces. Use a glue stick to adhere the tabs at the top and bottom of the cone to their matching sides.
- Attach the bottom portion (the piece with the extra tabs) to the top portion by gluing each tab to its corresponding side, forming a sturdy 3D cone shape.
- Before sealing the cone, fill it with treats, a gift card, or small surprises of your choice.
- Glue the ice cream scoop onto the top of the box.
- Finish by adding sprinkles and the cherry where you like.
