How do you make a ice cream towel favor?

You can't literally make an "ice cream towel favor" in the sense of an edible ice cream that's also a towel. However, you can create a fun and creative favor that resembles an ice cream cone and uses a towel as a key element! Here's how:

Materials:

* Small hand towels: Choose colors that represent different ice cream flavors (e.g., white for vanilla, pink for strawberry, brown for chocolate)

* Cardboard tubes: These can be leftover from wrapping paper or toilet paper rolls.

* Construction paper: For the cone shape and optional decorations.

* Glue stick or craft glue

* Scissors

* Optional: Ribbon, stickers, glitter, paint, markers

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cone: Cut a piece of cardboard tube to the desired height for your ice cream cone. It should be slightly taller than the towel when rolled.

2. Roll the Towel: Roll the towel tightly around the cardboard tube, securing it with a bit of glue or tape at the bottom.

3. Shape the Cone: Use construction paper (brown or another color) to create a cone shape that fits over the top of the rolled towel. Glue it in place.

4. Decorate (Optional):

* Use construction paper to cut out scoops of ice cream in various colors and sizes, then glue them on top of the rolled towel.

* Draw or cut out sprinkles, cherries, or other ice cream toppings to add to your creation.

* Use markers, glitter, or paint to add extra details to your ice cream cone.

5. Add a Ribbon (Optional): Tie a ribbon around the top of the cone for a more decorative touch.

Tips:

* Use different colored towels: For a more colorful and varied ice cream treat, use towels in multiple colors.

* Consider size: If you are using small hand towels, the cones will be smaller. You can adjust the size of the cardboard tube and the construction paper to create different cone sizes.

* Personalized touch: You can add a personal touch to your favors by adding a name tag, a thank you note, or a personalized message.

This DIY ice cream towel favor is a cute and practical way to thank your guests for attending your party or event. It's also a great way to use up leftover towels or create a unique and memorable favor. Enjoy!
