Cardboard Cone Carrier

It was fete day at school and I had decided to make marshmallow cones to be sold at the cake stall. Easy enough to make, attractive and fun for the kids. But my dilemma was how to transport and store them at the stall. This is what I came up with.

Although I haven't tried, I'm sure you could use this to transport other tricky items like painted eggs, craft projects, cup cakes or maybe even REAL ice cream cones!

Best of all, at the end of a long day at the cake stall, the carrier can be recycled rather than having a plastic box go missing.

Each of my carriers could transport 15 cones each.

Step 1 Materials

You'll need:

1 x empty cereal box
1 x craft or Stanley knife
Cutting Mat
Long ruler
Pencil
Staples
Sticky Tape

The size of your carrier will be dependent on how many cones you'll be carrying and their diameter at the top. If your box is too small you may find that your cones are too tightly packed and knocking each other.

Also, select a cereal box that has high sides as you'll need to allow space for the bottom of your cones to sit in.
