Making a Shave Ice Stand

Here is my shave ice stand tutorial. Mine still needs some paint on the top and on the dowels. You can take the roof off and put up a piece of paper to make a banner across the top.

A tip that I should mention:
You might want to use felt that matches the placemat you use for the roof.

Kanani craft!

I love the new shave ice stand. One of my favorite parts? The shave ice! This was a brainstorm that my mom and I had. We wanted to make something that looked like the shave ice so we thought about plastic. After thinking about different ways to make these we decided on hot glue. It's cheap and easy.

All you need is a colored plastic bag to look like the flavored syrup, hot glue, a hot glue gun, a ball/marble to make it the right shape, scissors.

You can use screw on tops to be the cups. Things like soda bottle tops, milk tops, and orange juice tops work pretty good.

You can use a white bag for ice without the flavoring.

These are so fun and easy to make.

Here is the video I did for the directions. I hope you like it.
