How to Make DIY Snow Cone Ornaments – 4 Easy Steps

STEP 1: Trace a Half-circle

Use a small plate and trace a half-circle with a pencil onto a white piece of paper and cut it out. The cereal bowl I used here was about 6 1/2 inches in diameter.

STEP 3: decorate the paper Cone

Decorate your paper cones with markers. Then form it into a cone and tape it together at the side.

STEP 4: Assemble

Insert a paperclip into the top of your foam snow cone ball so you can add a string to hang your ornament by. Then use school glue or tacky glue on the inside of your cone to glue the foam ball in place.
