When it comes to the art of sprucing up the home with customized decor, it’s often the simple and somewhat unexpected products that go a long way towards crafting something special. Whether it’s an accent item meant to speak to a seasonal or personal preference, much can be done when you take time to see the potential in an everyday object. Styrofoam cones are one of those items many people keep in the craft drawer but aren’t clear about their exact purpose.
While Styrofoam cones are rather unassuming objects, with the right amount of creativity you'll discover the many ways they can be transformed into beautiful treasures. It may be a vision of a tree draped in seashells, sequins or tassels that causes you to grab your glue gun and get to work. It may be a charming gnome figurine for that top shelf or a Santa hat perfect for finishing off the holiday centerpiece. Whatever inspires you, all you need to get started is a simple Styrofoam cone.
