Instructions

To start off this craft I went over both cones with the FloraCraft Smooth Finish®. I just smoothed is down with my fingers (super simple) and let dry 4 hours. Once the cones were dry I lightly sanded them down.

Next, I painted them both white.

Now it’s time to cut the tips off. I just eyed it.

I wanted to make sure it would be the same size as the baby food jar lid. The FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam Cutter cut through the foam perfect.

Ok, making straight lines on a cone is NOT easy. So I put my thinking cap on and tried to figure out how to attempt this. I thought rubber bands would be perfect.

It did, BUT I only had the two large rubber bands and I had three cones to do. Then I didn’t have the size to do the top. So if you can find several large rubber bands to fit the top and bottom that would be perfect!

So I just decided to free hand it

Now it’s time to add the window and doors!

First I painted on the black windows, then once it dried I added the white lines in between. Super Simple!

My favorite part, adding the lights! I knew right away that I wanted to use a baby food jar for the top. I painted the lids to match the lighthouse and then used tacky glue to keep in place.

I let them dry a couple hours before I placed the jars on top.

Finally I added my tea lights and I was ready to display! I think they go perfect with my coastal theme.
