I’m excited to sign up for some of my blogger friends these days for The Creative Craft Blog Hop, hosted with the aid of the usage of way of the very cunning Sara from Birdz of a Feather. Suppose you’re stopping through after a go-to with Carol from Bluesky at Home; welcome. I can’t wait to appearance what she’s created with Mod Podge! Be wonderful to test out all of this month’s craft duties at the lowest of this publish.
I get so excited every time I make Christmas crafts. There are several thoughts for paper crafts for Christmas. I’ve made a maximum of my crafts with loose printable templates. In these days’ craft, I certainly have specific-sized templates for you. You don’t need a printable template to make this paper cone Christmas tree craft. It’s easy if you have a ruler and compass. Even if you don’t have a compass, you can usually use a paper plate or any spherical item.
How to Make a Paper Cone
Step 1: Trace the cone template onto card stock paper and cut it out.
Step 2: This cone shape can be hard to accumulate. It will make it much less complicated if you pre-roll the cone. I find that “molding” the pointy quit with my fingers allows me to get the pointy forestall.
Step three: Add traces of double-sided tape on the internal of the cone close to the pinnacle. Remember to peel off the top layer of the tape.
Step four:
Attach the extended issue of the crepe paper to the rows of double-sided tape.
Make a few small creases along the manner.
Cut off any more crepe paper if the strip is, in reality, too lengthy.
Step five:
Fold the crepe paper top again and then upload two near traces of double-sided tape, as validated within the photograph, down one of the elements of the cone.
Remember to peel off the pinnacle layer of the tape.
Roll right into a cone form, starting with the pointy stop first.
Step 6: Secure the paper cone with more than one stapler at the pinnacle of the cone.
Step 7: Gently fold the crepe paper lower returned into the region and beautify the front of the paper cone.
Step 8: To avoid grease marks from cookies and candies, you may fill a disposable piping bag and location this within the deal with paper cones.
Step 9: Close the top with a few quiet ribbons, and your fancy cone for goodies is prepared to head!
What are you capable of doing with paper cones?
There are many things you may do with paper cones! Here are only some minds:
-Fill them with candy or other small treats for a fun birthday party select-out or vacation ornament.

How to Use a Paper Piping Bag
The completed pastry cone will stand upright in an empty eating glass, easily complete with chocolate, frosting, or some element you need to pipe. Do now, not overdo it, and purpose to forestall even as the bag is a chunk more than halfway through.
By leaving loads of room to spare, I can fold the extra paper at the give up some times, allowing me to soundly near the bag.
I keep folding and creasing that until I can’t fold any extra.
This creates a first-rate seal that holds the bag close on its own while also giving me a secure way to grip the bag. As I pipe, I’ll occasionally pause to fold the give-up down once more as needed. Not to spark a debate, however, recall it like a tube of toothpaste: It’s excellent squeezed from the surrender in preference to the middle, and as the sphere empties, it’s more cloth wants to be folded down to lessen waste.
