Materials for DIY Ice Cream Magnets:

Plaster of paris
Acrylic paint
Silicone Ice Cream mold (I found these in store at Joann)
Strong magnets
Hot glue

Begin by mixing up your plaster according to the package directions. You want the mixture to resemble pancake batter. Then fill the mold with the mixture and tap on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.

Use a spatula or popscile stick to scrape the back and make a flat surface. Then let set for 30 minutes. Once set, remove the pieces from the mold. As you can see, Joann has several different molds that are all super cute!

Once unmolded, paint the ice cream with your acrylic paint and let dry. I found that DecoArt Americana in Yellow Ochre made the perfect golden waffle cone and popsicle stick color. Then glue a magnet to the back of the plaster piece and they are ready to use!
