The Craft Corner

This month Natalie Webb is showing us how to make a huge icecream cone.

“This month’s project will really make your mouth water!”

Materials: 

•  Three sheets of card, one blue, one light brown or yellow, one dark brown.

•  Poster paints.

•  An old sponge

•  Glue  •  Scissors •  Pencil

•  Old plate

•  Brown marker pen

•  Small pom poms (optional)

Draw and cut out a long triangle shape from your light brown or yellow card to make your icecream cone.

Stick your cone onto your blue card then, using a brown marker, draw a criss cross design.

Cut out four disc shapes from your sponge. Don’t worry – they won’t be perfect circles!

Blob four different colour paints separately onto your plate. I used white, yellow, red and pink.

Dab your sponge pieces into the paints, using one for each colour, then press them down above your cone to make your icecream….you can make this as big and colourful as you like!

When you are happy with the result, cut out a little rectangle from the dark brown card for your chocolate flake. Stick this so that it looks like its’s coming out of the top of your icecream.

To finish off I added some “sprinkles” – I got some tiny pom poms and glued them onto the ice cream. It looks delicious….but don’t eat it!

Until then, since the mid-1990s, he had been in bands, “with a collective song-writing ethos”. No-one was […]
