Spice it up

Paper cones for movie night party..I made these recently for me and hubby ...Did you notice the heart shape the cones are making in the picture..heeheee

I made the paper cones with wrapping paper .. Filled it with popcorn.. Simple ... easy to refill and perfect for the occasion....!!!


Let's see how to make them..
For these paper cones you will need gift wrap or decorative paper, scissors, tape, candy/popcorn/fruits/treats to fill the cone

1. Roll the paper into a cone
2. glue..tape as and where needed(sides and end)
3. Fill it with treats
5. Accessorize them with ribbons/paper flowers
4. Keep them standing in a big bowl or jar
see below ho to personalize them..

Personalize it:

If you are making these paper cones for a party.. you can write initial letter of your guests name on the inside of the top opening of the cone..So they know which one to pick and is personalized .. They love you for that...!!!!
