Supplies you will need: 

• Band- aids.
• Styrofoam cone 9 inches.
• Options to prepare the cone - buy a colored cone, or paint the cone ahead of time, or cover with fabric by folding and pinning. Glue or pin a felt circle to the base. 
• Buttons- 300-500 buttons , less if you use larger ones. You can paint some red, green, etc. ahead of time.
• Beads -plastic or glass (You need as many beads as you have buttons.  Some suggested beads - white round beads- 4 and 8 mm, clear round beads - small green, red, blue ring shaped, etc.)
• Pins (1 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch, about 500 in total, white and colored  straight ball headed or corsage pins)
