Ice Cream Cone Jar

I found this gorgeous party idea at Catch My Party's site.  The party had so many inventive details. I really enjoyed how they displayed and stored the various ice cream cones. They placed them in a glass cookie jar and had a label on it.  I borrowed a glass jar and used some stickers to have "Ice Cream" on the outside of the jar.  Then I lined the bottom of the jar with cupcake liners.

Valentine Wreath

I decided that I would use my coffee filter wreath as a Valentine's wreath as well. I just simply took off my decorations that I had previously used and then added a few felt hearts I picked up at Jo-Ann Fabrics.  No sense in letting a perfectly good wreath only be useful for one season or holiday. I think I will continue to just make simple changes and keep it for multiple occasions.  


All you need to do is simply flatten the coffee filters and layer them on top of one another. I attached the filters using a hot glue gun, and was able to cover the straw wreath form in a matter of minutes. Then I simply attached the hearts at the bottom.  I used the straw wreath form from Hobby Lobby, and actually left it inside the plastic covering it came packaged in. That makes it a lot easier to maintain the shape, and then you are not cleaning up straw pieces that would fall off over time.

Here are three other ways I used the same wreath and just changed up the decorations.

Ice Cream Party Headband

I saw this amazing idea from One Charming Party that created a headband using an ice cream cone for a birthday party. I thought it would be a great idea to have Wynn wear one for her party as well as her little friends who would also like to wear one. I picked up a pack of five headbands at the Dollar Tree.  Then I used sugar cones, candy melts, sprinkles and other craft items to create some of my own.



I even had a little help modeling it from the almost birthday girl. I had to give her an actual ice cream cone to do this...but that's okay.  This project was around $1 to make and a lot cheaper than the hat I had bought on Etsy last year. I loved that hat, but I knew I could find something cute and inexpensive this year.

Thanks for stopping by!
