Lavender Cones

IMG_5583


I knew I didn't want rice thrown at my face (just not my thing!), when I was walking up the aisle for the first time with my husband (Steve). Given that it was an outdoor wedding - somewhat french themed, I decided that lavender would be perfect! (and not harmful to the environment)

My mom and sister helped me make these custom cones!

Things we purchased:

  • "M" stamp and ink pad from Michaels
  • Butcher paper from local ACE Hardware store
  • Craft tape from Michaels
  • Lavender (or choice filling)

Things we already had (but needed):

  • Ruler
  • Rotary Cutting Mat
  • Assistants
  • Rotary Blade

 

 

 

HOW TO:

  1. Decide how big you would like the cone to be! (we chose 4x4)
  2. Stamp in the middle of the [now square] paper - when positioned as a diamond
  3. Find a friend or family member to roll that paper into a cone :)
  4. Place on small (1/2) piece of tape in the middle, where the end meets the cone, and one right at the bottom point of the cone.
  5. TADA! cone done - fill it with throw item of choice!
