I bought this gorgeous wrapping paper at Christmas and now I have all these odds and ends of it left over. I didn't want to throw any out and most pieces were really too small to use for wrapping next year. I really loved the paper cone vase I had made earlier this year, so I decided to make another version of it.

It's so easy, you just cut a square shape and wrap it around your hand making it tight on the other end, tape the joint with magic tape or glue it together and pop in a little arrangement of dried flowers. I used hydrangeas and lavender to make this one.
Ta dah!
To hang it, I punched a hole in the back and added a twine loop. So easy, so pretty.
Here is the one I made a few months ago
Makes for a cute gift also - even with fresh flowers! Just wrap your favourite gift wrap around the bundle of flowers and tie it with a pretty ribbon.
Happy New Year!
Don't miss another post!
Those are so pretty! I like how easy you make it too. I was doing some that I had to add sheet music onto a more durable surface, etc. these are nice and simple. Pretty!

Sooooo pretty Anne!! Love that shutter too! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Something I would do with this is hang it in the hall cupboard so that everytime you open the door you get a nice flower smell. But I'm sure you already thought of all this. J.
ReplyDeleteAnne, Love your music sheet cone and the flowers are so pretty! Wishing you health, happiness and living your dreams in the New Year!

They are soooo cute. Small ones can go on the tree or by a place setting and hold a little treat. Great idea. I'm ready to start.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!

Love this idea, Anne. I have some sheets I bought and never made anything with. Now I have an idea thanks to your sharing at the All Star Block Party.
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, I love this idea! I never know what to do with those pieces of paper that are just a little too small. This is really creative and they turned out so pretty. I could see them for May Day baskets too. Have a great day!

ReplyDeleteYour cones are very pretty and love how your changed them for different uses, different ways to put them together, different contents. I've always loved making cones, they're so versatile. Just have to let your imagination go.
