Supplies:

Start by painting the papier-mâché box pink inside and out. Use a sponge brush for even coverage and let it dry fully.

For the melted ice cream effect, dilute brown paint with water and drip it organically down the sides and across the top using a brush. Allow it to dry.

Glue a pom-pom (store-bought or handmade) to the top for the ice cream scoop, then secure the sugar cone on top with hot glue. These cones are sturdier than they look.

Adorn the top with hot-glued candy-like toys and keychains for extra whimsy.

Finish by applying craft glue around the base with a sponge brush, then pressing on sprinkles while wet.
