Bridgey Widgey Guest Post

Hey it is Bridget here from Bridgey Widgey and last time I showed you how I used The Wood Connection dowels to make "Fairy Godmother" Wands  for a Princess Party.  This time I am showing you how to make party favor cones that I used for a "Rock-a- Bye Baby" baby shower. 

Let's get started...

YOU NEED:

*Medium size dowel cut in thirds. They can cut them right there for you at the store for just pennies.

*8x10 double sided paper of your choice. Mine is all from The Wood Connection.

*Tape

*Stapler. I prefer the long handle kind but you can use any regular stapler. 

*Ribbon of your choice

HOW TO:

This is super easy once you get the hang of it. I took a lot of pictures to help direct you and it will just take some playing around with to get that first cone. Once you get that first cone, you can use it to shape the others.

The KEY here is you have to have 8x10 paper. I love The Wood Connections selection of paper but it comes in 12x12 so I will just trim it down to a 8x10 and then start the process.

I roll the bottom right hand corner just part of the way to help get its shape.

Wrap the bottom right hand corner around the outside of the bottom left hand corner. This will help form the cone. This should fit nicely around because you already shaped the bottom right corner in step 1.

 While holding the bottom right hand corner continue to step 4...

Step 6: While the dowel is in the cone I will then hot glue it down to the front side of the cone. This will help secure the dowel as well as balance out the cone once there are treats in it. If you don't do this step then once you place your cone in styrofoam or a vase it will not stand up straight. 

Step 7: Decorate with Ribbon of choice. 

WAH-LA! you are done.

I filled my cones with Kool-Aid popcorn. To get that recipe and to see the rest of this "Rock-A-Bye" party click HERE.
