Instructions: How to make Confetti Cones

Step 1

Choose brown paper, sheet music or wallpaper for your confetti cone.  Draw a circle, using a plate or a pan lid as a template. Cut it out.

Step 2

Divide the cut circle into thirds. The measurements are not crucial. We made a cardboard template to ensure all 100 cones turned out relatively similar.

Step 3

Decide if you are going to decorate the cone. You might choose to overlay it with a lace paper doily, in which case, cut the doily into three and attach a third to your paper shape. If you are planning to add lace, buttons or other trims, you can decide later, when the cone is complete.

Step 4

Experiment with the size of the cone you would like by rolling it. The more overlap you have, the narrower it will be (and the less confetti you will need).

Step 5

Using glue or double-sided tape, stick the cone shape in place. Decorate further if you like, or move swiftly on to the next one, and the next…..!

These pretty confetti cones would look great displayed in a pretty basket. Why not turn this into a hen party craft evening and gather some friends to help split the load.  The beauty is that this Wedding DIY is so easy anyone can do it!
