Halloween is upon us! It happens to be my favorite holiday. So I thought I would start off the
Halloween season with a bit of decor..........vintage inspired candy cones. They can hold candy
and so much more. You could put in spiders, skeleton hands, tinsel shreds, the list goes on.
I think I would prefer candy corn! Nothin' says Halloween is in the air more than candy corn!!
So, here goes..........fist you need a paper mache cone. The size I used was a 7"x 3" cone. Now we
gotta dress the naked thing up!! So, pick out some paper that screams Halloween, put the corner of the cone in a corner of your paper and wrap the paper around the cone and mark the paper where it meets the opening of the cone.
Now, cut the paper and inch above the pencil mark you made. To attach these two together I used
double sided tape. I ran it down both edges and just under the pencil mark. Mod Podge or one of your favorite adhesives could be used, but I'm a bit impatient so, I go for double sided tape. Next, wrap that baby up and burnish the seams with a bone folder or the back of a spoon. Cut one inch sections and hot glue the sections to inside of cone opening.
Now you are ready to doll your cone up. I add a sticker and some vintage style tinsel to the top and the tip of the cone.
I also added a bit of crepe paper to the inside of the top and trimmed it with pinking sheers. Next, I added black eyelets to each side and wire for hanging. I also add a bit of shimmer to the sticker with
some Liquitex Artist Color in Opal. But you can also use glitter glue.
Now you are ready to fill with goodies and hang on a Halloween Tree or give as a treat to your favorite people! Now go and create!!!!!! Becci
