This project guides you through creating festive Halloween treat cones using a 6x6 paper pad, gold chenille pipe cleaners, gold pom poms, and a Witch Hat Placecard. You will assemble paper cones, craft a decorative rosette topper, and add functional handles and bows using bakers twine. The final result is a whimsical container for candies and small gifts, complete with a pom pom accent at the base.

Directions

Construct the paper cones following the provided directions. Use a 1/8-inch hole punch to create openings on opposing sides of each cone. Attach the fringed trim according to the kit's guidelines and set the cones aside.

Choose a sheet of patterned paper from the 6x6 paper pad.

Slice the paper into two strips, each measuring 1.25 inches wide. Use a scoring tool like a Scor-Buddy to mark lines every 0.25 inches along both strips.

Fold both scored strips into accordion pleats.

Apply liquid adhesive to the ends of the strips to join them into a single continuous length.

Form the joined strips into a ring and secure the ends with adhesive. Flatten the ring completely.

Press the center of the flattened ring inward from the edges and position the Witch Hat Placecard sticker over the middle.

Turn the rosette over and place a small amount of hot glue in the center. Press the middle together and hold until the adhesive sets.

Gather gold pom poms and gold chenille pipe cleaners from your craft supply stash.

Cut a 3-inch segment from one pipe cleaner to use as a tie for the treat bags. Thread one end through a hole in the cone, bend it to secure, then pass the other end through the opposite hole to form a handle.

Twist two additional pipe cleaners together and wrap the pair around the Witch Hat Placecard. Twist the loose ends together and flatten them against the hat.

Cut a 5-inch piece of pipe cleaner, shape it into a loop, and glue it around the edge of the sticker. Position the rosette over the cone to hide the pipe cleaner loop.

Fashion a bow from the black and white bakers twine and attach it with hot glue just beneath the sticker.

Secure a gold pom pom to the bottom of the cone using hot glue.
