Time: 15 minutes
Level: Beginner
Size: 4 in. x 6.5 in.

Here's what you need:

• Glue Dots® Glue Lines™
• Glue Dots® Repositionable Dots™
• 18” Jute Cord from Darice
• DCWV Premium Stack: Minty Lace (Or other paper stack that coordinates with the theme and colors of your wedding)
• Wild Bird Seed
• Fiskars Paper Trimmer
• Scissors
• Ruler
• Crop-a-dial from We R Memory Keepers
• Funnel

Here's what you do:

Use the paper trimmer to cut your 12” Premium paper down to 6” squares. This will allow you to make 4 cones from each piece of paper.

Orientate the paper so it is face down and like a diamond. Use Glue Lines along the right bottom edge. Gently fold the left side towards the right, with a slight crease. Then, fold the right side across the left, with a slight crease. Be sure that the bottom point is overlapping to keep the bird seed inside the cone. 

Fold the top triangle over the top, but allow a little extra space for the bird seed. Punch two holes using the crop-a-dial. Thread the ends of the jute cord through the holes and tie knots.

Use a funnel to fill the cone with bird seed, being careful not to over fill. Secure the top flap with a Repositional Glue Dots.

There are all sorts of ways you can embellish this simple confetti cone to coordinate it with your wedding theme and colors. Add a flower on the flap or jewel. You can make a rosette or add the monogram of the Bride and Groom. There is really on limit when you personalize your wedding décor and accessories yourself!
