Materials

• Paper Mache Cone

• 1-2 pieces of 12" x 12" paper

• Paper Doilies

• Dimensional Embellishments

• Ribbon

• Scissor

• Matte Mod Podge

• Foam Brush

• Xacto Blade

• Hot Glue Gun

 

Directions

1. Cut desired paper to fit about 3/4 of the way up the cone. Coat back of paper with Matte Mod Podge and place on cone. Once paper is in place, brush over edges of paper to secure.

2. Once glue has dried you may begin gluing your embellishments on. Choose coordinating colors and patterns, and objects of interest. Fold flat cut outs and glue on the seam only to create dimension. Use a hot glue gun, for fast set up.

3. Fold a large paper doily in half, and then in half again. Cut out the center 3 inches and discard. Take the remaining outer ring of the doily and fold accordion style every 1/2 inch. Once you unfold the doily, place a band of Matte Mod Podge around the inner rim of the cone. Press the doily into place and seal with coat of Mod Podge.

4. Punch a hole on either side of the cone, about 1" from the top. String ribbon through and tie knot to secure ends.

5. Fill with gifts and treats for a perfect May Day, Mother’s Day, or Teacher Gift!
