What could be more iconic than an ice cream cone on a hot summer day? Sure, popsicles are easier to come by and a little less work to hand out to the kids, but ice cream cones? They’re something special!

But maybe we can make them a little healthier, without the tummy aches and Dentist’s visits. These DIYs include things to wear, things to decorate, and things to eat with—I think we’ve covered all the angles.

Make those summer shindigs extra sweet with a dose of sherbet-hued piñatas. Making them yourself ensures you’ll get exactly the colors and contents you’ve been dreaming of.

Are the babes too little to have their own lickable ice cream cone? No worries, just make them one of these tees to keep them going.

It seems to me that these perfect printables would need a recipe for homemade watermelon sorbet to go along with them.

Ice Cream Cone Ornaments
See the tutorial at How About Orange.

These look super simple to create and the bright colors are so brilliant. Wouldn’t it be fun to hang them in the trees above your summer soirée?

The shapes and colors of these ice cream cone decorations feel so very retro to me, in the best of ways. Perfect for an old fashioned ice cream social perhaps?
