How to make Halloween Treat Cones Party Favors

Halloween paper treat cones party favors are so fun to make! These started out as dollar store party hats!

I am excited to show you how I made them!

I wanted to make some cute little Halloween party favors for my family Halloween party we just had. Specifically Halloween paper treat cones that would hold candies for everyone. 

Supplies need to make Halloween party favors

We ran over to the dollar tree to see what we could find. They sell 8 small party hats in a sleeve. 4 silver and 4 multicolored.

Not really very Halloweenish but I knew I could turn them into something fun. 

I gathered up a few supples like pom poms, crepe paper and sparkly stickers I had in my craft stash.

Decorating dollar tree party hats

First I added black polka dots to the silver paper hats with a permanent marker.

That alone spiced up the plain silver birthday party hats. 

To create a ruffle at the edge of the party hats, I ran three colors of crepe paper off center through my sewing machine on a long stitch to gather the paper to create a ruffle. 

Tip- Pull a little on the end of the crepe paper so it creates tighter ruffle. 

It looked so cool!

Then I hot glued them to the edge of each party hat. 

Tip- if some of the ruffle comes undone, just gather the crepe paper by hand and slide the paper into the hot glue to continue to create the ruffle look. 

They turned out so adorable! 

Adding pom poms and pipe cleaners

At the bottom of each hat we hot glued an orange or purple pompom.

These colorful pom poms come in package also from dollar tree. 

For the handles, we popped off the elastic band and added colorful twisted pipe cleaners from Dollar Tree with some hot glue. 

Filling the Halloween party favor cones

Using pieces of plastic garbage sacks we stuffed the hats and then added some shredded purple or orange paper from Dollar Tree. 

For the treats we put in some Halloween candy, wax lips, pixie sticks, gummy bones, brains and teeth candies and a plastic spider ring. 

For my vegan daughter we filled hers with nuts, crackers and popcorn. 

They looked so adorable sitting atop of their Halloween paper dinner plates!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
