To make your ice cream cone last-minute Halloween costume, you’ll be using COLORSHOT Paint Markers and just a few other craft supplies.
First carefully take apart a cone-shaped party hat and lay it flat on brown cardstock. Trace around it with a pencil, then cut out the shape.
Use the Brownie Points Paint Marker and a ruler to create grid lines on the hat cutout.
Add craft glue to one side of the hat, then wrap both ends around to form it into a cone shape. Press the side without glue into the glue on the other side.
Use your hot glue gun to glue the ice cream cone hat in place on a headband.
Place freezer paper or heavy cardstock in between the layers of your white T-shirt to help prevent any paint from soaking through to the back of the shirt. Use your COLORSHOT Paint Markers to draw “sprinkles” onto the T-shirt to your liking. Let it dry completely before wearing.
No tricks for this ice cream cone last-minute Halloween costume, but it’ll be a real treat to wear!
This soda can last-minute Halloween costume is even easier to DIY than the ice cream cone costume! The main item you’ll need is a piece of cardboard, which you can probably find in your recycling bin.
Create a sketch of a soda can tab on a piece of paper, then cut out and trace onto a piece of cardboard. Cut out the soda can tab design from the cardboard.
Working in a well-ventilated area, spray paint your cardboard soda can tab with several light coats of Princess Cut. Let dry in between coats, then repeat on the other side. You can also spray paint your headband to match!
Use your hot glue gun to glue the soda can tab in place on the headband.
Pop on a matching gray T-shirt, and your soda can last-minute Halloween costume is ready to refresh everyone with its unique vibe. Now pour yourself a cold bevvy and enjoy your Halloween!
This final last-minute Halloween costume idea is perfect for writers, teachers or anyone who just really likes pencils.
As done with the ice cream cone last-minute Halloween costume, un-fasten the cone-shaped party hat and trace onto a piece of brown cardstock, then cut out.
Apply glue to one side, then wrap each side around to form a cone. Press the sides together and let the glue dry.
Paint a wavy line around the base of the cone hat with Emoji Acrylic Paint, then fill in with paint all the way to the bottom edge, all around the base of the cone hat. Paint the pencil lead with Little Black Dress Acrylic Paint at the very tip of the cone hat. Let dry.
Glue your pencil cone hat to a headband with your hot glue gun.
