Ice Cream Party - Easy Decoration #2

Anyone that knows me will tell you I go overboard with getting things done early.  I have been like that as long as I can remember. Wynn's birthday is in January, and we are having an ice cream party for two reasons. 1. Wynn likes ice cream and 2. I was able to get a lot of items that were ice cream related on clearance at the end of the summer to use for the party.

I purchased some paper lanterns from Joann's for $3 bucks. There were three large and four smaller sizes in the package. I was inspired by a pin that I am sharing below a while back.  I went for a similar idea by using the lantern, some packaging paper and a glass vase from the Dollar Tree. 

I simply created a cone shape, placed the lantern on top of it, and then placed them in the vase so that they could stand up. I basically spent a total of $1 making both of these because I already had the packaging paper and the vase.  I plan on using them on the table at her party.  I am also thinking about hanging them as well since it would be easy to do that.

The project that was the inspiration was done by Oh Happy Day. I wanted to use balloons originally but with the helium shortage going on it made me think about what else I could use that I already had lying around.  

Thanks for stopping by and checking out this simple project. I cannot wait to put it together with everything I've made so far.
