Next, using a spoon, lean over your sprinkle container or an extra Ice Cream Dish and gently pour your rainbow sprinkles over the layer of Mod Podge. Repeat 1-2 times until you have an even coating of sprinkles. Tap any loose sprinkles free. This will leave the I Scream for Ice Cream Picks looking like the ice cream on your cone is dipped in a sprinkle topping.
