Tools & Materials

• Template 
• Multi-Colored Paper
• White Glue
• Blunt Tip Kids Scissors
• Circle Lever Punch – Large 2″
• 1/8″ Hole Punch
• 1/4″ Hole Punch
• Scallop Punch
• Ribbon, Embroidery Floss and/or Chain
• Silver Keychain Ring

Steps

1. Print the template and cut out shapes for donut icing, ice cream, cones, popsicles and sticks.
2. Use the large circle punch to punch donut and cookie shapes out of light brown or kraft paper.
3. Use the 1/4″ hole punch with brown paper to create chocolate chips for the cookies, and the 1/8″ hole punch on various shades of blue, pink, white and brown paper to make sprinkles.  Use white glue to stick to your sweets.
4. Use the scallop punch to take a bit out of your sweets!
5. Punch a hole in the top of the sweet, then tie a ribbon, embroidery floss bracelet or chain.  Hook a silver keychain ring on the end.

Styling

Instead of attaching to a chain, we used ribbon and embroidery floss – attach a friendship bracelet for double the fun! Skip attaching a ring to the end and use these treat-chains as bookmarks.
