How to Fold a Decorative Flower Cone

A flower cone is an excellent craft project that allows you to store dried flowers, paper flowers or fresh flowers in an attractive way. Making a flower cone is straightforward enough for a young child to do, and also makes a sweet gift for them to present to their parents. Additionally, you can use elaborately decorated flower cones as party or wedding favors. With a few supplies, you can fold your own floral paper cones to beautify your home.

Tag board
Pencil
Compass
Scissors
Glue
Spray paint
Ribbon (optional)
Scrapbooking embellishments (optional)

Instructions

- 1
  Use the compass and pencil to draw a circle on the tag board. The distance from the center point of the circle and the edge of the circle is the height of your floral cone.
- 2
  Cut out the paper circle with a pair of scissors.
- 3
  Cut a pie-shaped wedge from the circle. The wedge should remove about ¼ of the circle. Cut a larger wedge for a very narrow cone or a smaller wedge for a very broad-mouthed cone.
- 4
  Curl the two cut edges of the paper circle together and overlap them; glue them together.
- 5
  Cut a strip of tag board that is 9 inches long and 1 inch wide.
- 6
  Glue both ends of the strip to opposite sides of the opening of the cone to make a handle.
- 7
  Spray paint the floral cone and handle.
- 8
  Decorate the cone with ribbons and scrapbooking embellishments if you wish.
