Hello again, savvy savers! With Easter quickly upon us, today I wanted to share with you all my Easter Candy Cone! This project is super simple, made up of stockpile and gift closet staples, purchased at the end of the last Easter Season, stashed in my stockpile. Check it out!
For this project I used the following materials:
- An Easter basket; on hand.
- Edible Easter Basket Filler; $0.10 for 20 ounces; purchased at Dollar General after Easter 2014.
- Easter Candy Bags, $0.10 for 40; purchased at Dollar General after Easter 2014.
- Easter Candy Carrots, $0.10 for 40; purchased at Dollar General after Easter 2014.
- Easter Candy Pops, $0.10 for 12; purchased two packs at Dollar General after Easter 2014.
- Easter Salt Water Taffy, $0.10 for 40; purchased at Dollar General after Easter 2014.
- Easter Ribbon Spool, $0.10 for 20 feet; purchased at Dollar General after Easter 2014.
- Ice Cream Cones; $0.60, using Coupons.com Coupon at the Dollar Tree.
- Twist Ties; came with treat bags.
- Clear packaging tape, on hand.
Total Cost: $1.30 for 24 cones!
I just love how simple, clean, and inexpensive this project was. I simply take ice cream comes, filled with edible basket filler grass, and added Easter treats, are individually wrapped, and placed vertically, by the dozen, for the upcoming Easter Season! Each cone is secured by twist ties that came with each back of treat bags, and any gaps in the cones can be secured with clear packaging tape, if needed. The treats can last for some time, so I am making several baskets for neighbors, church, and school for the family! This project is one of my favorites this time of year!
So, seriously guys, how fun did this turn out? Again, super simple!
Here’s to creating on a budget,
