Carrot Treat Cones

1. Mix a few drops of green craft paint with water until it reaches the consistency of milk. Soak coffee filters in the paint mixture until fully saturated (you can do several at a time). Squeeze out excess paint and lay flat to dry on paper towels or hang from a hanger with a clip or a clothespin.

2. Download template* and trace onto orange paper. Cut out and roll into a cone shape, adhering the sides with double-stick tape.

3. Cut out the center of a painted coffee filter. Attach the remaining paper to the inside edge of the cone with doublestick tape.

4. Fill the cone with small treats and tie twine around the top to close.
