Who doesn't love ice pops, rocket pops and snow cones? Every summer, we all wait for the ice cream truck to stroll down our street. The first thing we get are rocket pops. Three yummy flavors all in one, just like the snow cone shown below. Cherry, blue raspberry, and lemon. You can't go wrong with those flavors!
Today, I want to share with you a quick craft for Memorial Day, using Hygloss Foam Sheets, Hygloss Glitter, and Hygloss Magnetic Strips. The best part is, no calories involved. Let's scroll down and make some faux rocket pops and snow cones.
Materials
- Hygloss Foam Sheets; Red, White, and Blue
- Hygloss Glitter; Red, White, and Blue
- Hygloss Magnetic Strips
- Craft Glue
- Other; Decorative Scissors, Scissors, Pencil
Directions For Snow Cone
Step One: Print a medium sized circle template from your computer, cut and trace onto a sheet of 2 white foam (you need 2 white circle pieces), 1 red foam and 1 blue foam. Then, draw a medium sized triangle shape from white foam, and cut all pieces out.
Step Two: Cut pretty scalloped edges around each circle, using decorative scissors, or pinking shears.
Step Three: Draw 3 lines about 1.5 inches apart, and cut with a regular scissor. Layer each piece onto the second white circle. Glue in place.
Step Four: Mark a rim about 1/2 inch from the bottom base. This is your guide line for the snow cone base. Place the triangle shape on this mark, glue in place.
Step Five: Layer each snow cone color with glitter, then let dry.
Directions For Rocket Pop
Step One: Draw a baby bottle shape onto a white foam sheet, then cut it out. Optional- Cut 2 slanted lines and a 1/2 circle in the bottom of the shape like I did.
Step Two: Cut red, white, and blue rectangle shapes and glue to the top of the rocket pop base. Then, add a popsicle stick shape to the base. We opted to paint the red and blue colors, and just cut a white rectangle shape.
For Both Projects
Cut pieces from magnetic strips and attach to the back of the snow cone and rocket pop. Use our self adhesive magnetic strips for this.
Tips
- Trace the base of a veggie/tomato tin can, coffee cup, or cd, for the snow cone circle.
