Joanne brought us this unusual cone project.
First, take a pulpboard cone and cover it in your chosen patterned paper. I used 7 Gypsies Notting Hill for mine, and the cone was from Panduro.
Fill it almost to the top with any old paper. I used scrap brown paper I had from packaging. Then, using a Cropadile, punch a hole at either side of your cone. Thread through and twist some gold wire as shown for your hanging loop.
It's then just a case of decorating and letting your imagination run riot! I decorated the front using an image from a sheet I got from Artchix Studio and trimmed this with Distress Stickles in Antique Linen for a bit of sparkle. I tea dyed a piece of lace for around the top and a piece of leaf ribbon to weave around my hanging loop. Dried moss was glued to the top of the cone, and I then added two mulberry roses which I again trimmed with my Distress Stickles, some little wired gems and pearls and a plastic quail's egg. Everything was bought from the florist department at Hobbycraft, apart from the egg which, like the cone is from Panduro.
Bye for now.
