How to Make a Styrofoam Traffic Cone

Recently, I threw a transportation shower. I bought these traffic sign suckers on Amazon. I was looking for a way to display them and came up with this super easy, very quick (3-5 minutes), and inexpensive Styrofoam traffic cone as the solution. You can use these cones for suckers, for decor, for playtime, etc.

First you need a styrofoam cone, a 12″x 18″ orange foam sheet, a glue gun, glue sticks, and orange paint(optional).
