This is what you will need to make your fun homemade Ice Cream Cone costume with Jimmies:
- white cotton sheet or fabric (thrift store, Walmart, fabric store)
- smaller piece of colored fabric (use old colored t-shirts, scrap packs from a fabric store, or small sections from fabric store rolls)
- white thread
- tan skirt (or sew your own, I bought mine online from forever21 for like 7 bucks)
- brown paint
- electrical wire (Homedepot, Lowes)
- stuffing cotton (I used the inside of old pillows)
- ruler
- marker
- brownish craft or acrylic paint
To make the cone top section:
- Cut strips of white fabric as long as you can lengthwise and around 14 inches wide (depending on how big you want the swirls)
- Fold your strips of fabric in half
- Sew (preferably with a sewing machine) along the edge
- Turn strip inside out once it is sewn and slide electrical cord through the long fabric sleeve you just sewd
- stuff entire section with stuffing cotton
- sew ends together and tapper at the ends
Making the jimmies:
- cut colored fabric into 2.25″ by 8ish” strips
- roll the sections
- sew them onto the long white top you just made
Putting it on:
- wrap the strip all the way around you
- use a scrap piece of white fabric to side the bottom two swirls together so you don’t unravel
- as an option you can ask someone to tie it in other sections to make sure it stays together
Making the waffle cone shirt:
- take a ruler and mark diagonal lines in one direction with a marker across the shirt
- switch diagonal and make the same marks
- paint over lines with brown craft or acrylic paint
Soo cute!!

How do the swirls that go around your neck stay in place?
