Arrange these pretty empty for guests to fill with the treat of their choice |
Or place in a decorative container........ |
To make these pretty cones all you need are these simple items:
- Sugar Cones
- Paper Doilies
- Double Sided Tape
- Ribbon (optional)
To make these as simple as possible - I used cones and doilies that are the same size.
The cones measure 5"inches down one side and the doilies measure 5" inches across.
Please the cone in the center of the doily - with doily "good" side down.
Roll one side of the doily over the cone - keeping it close to the tip.
Roll the other side over
Seal the flap with a strip of double sided tape.
I added a thin strip of ribbon,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Okay are you ready to kick it up a bit!
This example is a 5" gold round doily rolled the same way as described above.
However, I added a small cocktail napkin for convenience and extra style!
Again use a napkin that is approximately the size of the cone.
Fold the napkin in half.
Roll around the cone like the doily - just don't tape.
Hold in place and slide into doily. (doily was wrapped around cone then removed.)
Okay one more style....I could not resist -
However this style with the lace trim around the top of the cone takes some cutting - but is still pretty easy.
I used a 10" round paper lace doily (because my cones are 5" inches)
I will be able to get 4 5" wedges from one doily.
Fold doily in half.
Fold doily in half again.
Unfold and carefully cut along the creases.
You will have 4 pieces of equal size.
Place the cone in the center of one piece with the points lining up.
Roll doily from one side until the cone is completely covered.
Voila! Cone with lace top !
No matter your style! Enjoy
