I love a clever Halloween pumpkin. Not that I have anything against traditional Jack-o-lanterns, of course – I just happen to have a soft spot for unique and non-traditional ideas. And these ice cream cone pumpkins by Sam at Aww, Sam are just too stinkin’ adorable! They’d be a perfect use for the multi-packs of mini foam pumpkins that you can find at the dollar store. [how to make ice cream cone pumpkins]

Project estimate:

• Small pumpkins, $1 and up
• Ice cream cone (real or fake), on hand or $1 and up
• Paint, on hand
• Adhesive vinyl, on hand or about $3 and up

Total: $1 and up!
