More Victorian Cones

Cones were often seen on Victorian era Christmas trees, full of glittery decor items or filled with candy and toys for children.


Here's a quick and easy project for you that will give you a creative edge in your holiday decorating: another cone design, this one using Soho Subway DSP:

• This was another project completed at the Creative Escapes retreat a couple of weeks ago.
•  It features a rolled flower made with the pattern on the flip side of the print DSP.  I punched out a large scallop circle and cut it in a spiral shape until I reached the center.
• I rolled it up starting at the outside edge and rolling until I reached the center.  A quilling tool makes this super easy.
• A few glue dots on the last of the spiral creates a base to adhere the rolled flower to.  An alternative to this is a Jumbo Sticky Round, cut to the right diameter.

• I added a smaller scallop circle underneath the rolled flower.

• Some sponging and some Cherry Cobbler Chevron Ribbon complete this easy project.  

•  Here's a link to get the template for the cone. It's easy to roll into the right shape and Sticky Strip keeps it in place!

There you are!  Easy Peasy!  Go crazy!!
