First, prepare the plywood for painting by dividing it into 4 rectangular sections with a pencil. Then, outline the sections with a few thin pieces of painter's tape.

Now, paint each section of your plywood a different color. The colors that you choose will be the contrasting colors of your small buttons.

Now, lightly sketch an outline of an ice cream cone and cupcake, 2 for each section. Then, grab your buttons and make 2 ice cream scoop shapes on two of the painted sections using a hot glue gun. Then, paint cones and cupcake wrappers, again 2 for each section, with matching colors.
