Wednesdays are my son’s favorite days at camp because that’s when the sno-cone truck comes!
But with easy snow cone syrup recipe, he can have the icy treats any day of the week! (Oh and is it sno-cone or snow cone?)
Not only am I sharing the recipe, but I also have a video tutorial for how you can make these cute customized labels for your sno-cone syrup bottles.
If you think office supplies and parties don’t go hand-in-hand, then you need to check out all the amazing labels available from Online Labels. You’ll find all kinds of shapes, sizes and colors of labels for shipping, printing, packaging, branding and crafting. Even labels for sno-cone syrup bottles!
Our group of crafty bloggers has come up with 20 different ideas for how to use labels at parties. You can find all the tutorials at Crafty Hangouts, or watch the live crafting videos on this YouTube playlist.
Online Labels has a free tool that you can use to design and print your labels. But for my project, I decided to break out some of my rubber stamps and ink.
See how I did it here:
Other supplies I used for this craft:
- Plastic squeeze bottles (You can find them at Walmart, grocery stores or Amazon)
- Stampin’ Up markers (You could also use Copic markers) or an ink pad
- Stampin’ Up Tart & Tangy stamp set (This set is retired, but I found similar ones here and here)
- Assorted washi tape, including Amy Tangerine mini Mixtape
And now for the recipe…
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet unsweetened powdered drink mix, such as Kool-Aid
- In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add powdered drink mix, stirring until dissolved.
- Allow to cool.
- Using a funnel, pour into plastic bottles or jars. Refrigerate for up to 1 month.
- Serve over shaved ice.
As you can see, we made up several batches of sno-cone syrup: Tropical Punch, Strawberry, Cherry, Orange and Green Apple.
We went a birthday party over the weekend, and we we gave Jackson’s little friend his own sno-cone maker, some straws and sno-cone cups, plus an assortment of homemade syrups.
We love coming up with creative birthday gifts for kids, and I’d say this definitely qualifies!
My guy certainly loves his homemade sno-cone!
Great recipe, Amy! My kids saw me reading this and got all excited, asking if we were having snow cones today.
Oops. Sorry about that. Want me to write a post about chores for kids tomorrow so they can read that over your shoulder? 🙂
This is perfection!! I love how the syrup bottles turned out! It’s son-cone for us, and I think we’ll be making some with your awesome recipe!
Thanks so much! Let me know how your snow cones turn out. And BTW, if you don’t have a sno-cone maker, just throw some crushed ice into a blender, food processor or magic bullet and it will get all snowy.
Genius idea, love it! sooooo cute!
Thanks! I’m kinda crazy for stamping on labels now. What else can I stamp?
Oh those are cute! And we love snocones!
Who doesn’t? Don’t they just put a smile on your face — unless you drop yours! That’s happened to me.
YUMMY! I am a snow cone girl. You little guy sure grew this summer! xo
I know. He keeps getting bigger and bigger. We’re not buying any new clothes for summer until the day before because he’ll surely outgrow them!
The boys love snow cones!
We’ll be making snow cones when the boys come over next week. The labels are cute!
I bet they have a blast at your house!
this is the best idea ever!!!
My daughter is having a sleep over tonight, I think we might make these. Thanks
Hope you enjoyed the sno-cones and that you survived the sleepover!
LOVE how these labels turned out! Thanks for the giveaway too!
Get out of town! You used kool-aid to make the sugar syrup? My kids will be hopping up and down tomorrow afternoon when I make these favors!
Pinning!
