ST_12_months_of_Martha_Logo-1How to make a Paper Cone

What’s better than Popcorn? Getting Popcorn in a paper cone, y’all!

Now before you flip out with excitement I will need you to put on your Christmas shirt and grab a movie. Preferably UP. Wait, did you see my post I did yesterday on the I love to create website? Check it out Here.

Let’s get started because I am eating all of the popcorn. YOUWILLNEEDMartha Stewart Craft Paper | Baker’s Twine (optional) | Christmas Stickers | Glue Gun | Love
DIY SNACK CONTAINERSThe first thing you will do is lay a sheet of paper out flat and start rolling from one corner to the next. It might feel awkward at first but you will get the hang of it. howtomakeapaperconeIt will start to look like this on the end. With a little practice (maybe a minor heart attack) you will get a nice pointed tip.

Whatever you do, don’t ask me how how many times I threw that sheet of paper down on the ground while walking away like a mad little kid <——– teehee. make a paper cone snack containersWhen you are done rolling your paper you will have this little piece of paper hanging off of the top. Don’t worry it’s supposed to be there. If it’s big enough you can fold it down and clip it with a button or something. You can use a hole puncher and attach with baker’s twine also. paper containerI used Martha’s new stickers on my paper cones. I love how they add just enough to the cones. marthastewart peppermint stickerspopcorn holder paper coneYou can fill these with anything your little heart desires. I wanted to hand out popcorn to my family and thought that would be the perfect filling. diy paper conesdiypaper cone craftDisclosure:  I’m part of the 12 Months of Martha program. What does that mean? Well, my stop mom “Martha” sends me a box of yummy goodies each month and in return I create fun tutorials just like the one today for you.

Happy Holiday’s from my little golden heart to yours! What will you fill your cones with?

Linky Love is what’s on my mind! Today my friends Mark, Margot, Cathie, Kathy and Heather will be showing you some amazing craft projects! Make sure to visit them and give them some love!

Craft Projects

First up my girl Margot Potter shows us how to make edible shoes, not really! These are yummy and do look like Candy Crush shoes. Check out how she made them.

BoHo is what it’s all about with Mark Montano this week. Not only will you fall in love with him but you will also love this craft. They are like candy land jewels hanging from your ears, right! Go Mark!

I never loved the taste of candy dot’s but I always loved they way they looked. Kathy Cano-Murillo , CraftyChica.com created this whimsical candy inspired shirt that I can’t wait to make. I don’t think there is an age limit on wearing this right?! (hehe) 

What the FAUX! I feel like this beautiful hand crafted wine bottle needs to be in everyone’s home. Once you see how easy it is to make you will have 10 on your kitchen table thanks to Heather Mann and Morena’s Corner.
I am not sure the world knows how excited I am about FABRIC CHARMSCathie Filian of Cathie Filian and Steve Piacenza unlocked my heart with this craft. You will be stunned when you see how they made it!
And if you have not seen my water color flag bunting then check them out. This is a great craft for adults and kids! 
I hope you enjoyed these great craft projects. Get creative and make your own versions of everything. Make sure you check out everyone’s blog’s and facebook pages to learn about exciting news and giveaway’s. Now that I am thinking about it Mark is giving away the BoHo set he made. HURRY! Go enter to win. Love you to the glittery moon and back!

Martha Stewart Countdown #51 Gumdrop Pops

Howdy Jaderbugs! I can’t believe today is almost over with. Where does time go and who gave them permission to take it so quickly…I just want to warn you before doing this craft! You will be cutting and rolling pieces of gum drops the entire time and I suggest putting a wet wash cloth by you unless you plan on licking your fingers the entire time {{like I did}}…..Then you will be pouncing off of the walls! So let’s get started {{i feel like a real live gum drop people}}….

I used some plain ole spice drops. I really forgot how much these suckers stick to your teeth…I think that is why our parents told us they were bad for our teeth {{duhhh now I know why}}…

Grab some skewers! These babies will hold the spice drops!

I used a razor blade to cut the spice drops. These suckers are hard to cut!

I don’t know about you but I WISH I had enough time to make hundreds of these and hand them out to my neighbors…. Obvisouly this one is not done.. Well, technically it “could” have been done but someone could have “ate” his parts… Were gonna go with NOT DONE.  I listed the directions for each design below for you!

For Santa
Use top half of 1 small gumdrop for hat. Trim 2 oblong candies for arms. Use candy-coated seeds for buttons and pom-pom. Poke candy where facial features will go with a skewer; use sticky tip to pick up and place nonpareils for eyes and nose.

For Tree
Use 1 flattened gumdrop for base of tree. Use 1 small gumdrop for trunk. Cut sides from 1 gumdrop; press sides around top of stick, for treetop. Flatten 1 gumdrop; using an aspic cutter, cut out star. Insert sprinkles for lights.

For Snowman
Trim top of head; top with 1 candy wafer and half of 1 small gumdrop for hat. Using a skewer (see “For Santa”), place nonpareils for eyes, mouth, and buttons. Insert sprinkle for nose.

For Mushroom
Use 1 small gumdrop for stem. Use sequin sprinkles for dots.

You can’t tell me you didn’t feel good when you first looked at these honeysuckles. I felt good when I ate one… JS
