Here’s an inexpensive, easy and fun way to serve treats at your next party, or package them for gifting–Paper Treat Cones!
These Paper Treat Cones are extremely easy to make using a standard 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of copy paper, a glue stick and some scissors.
1. Collect your materials. 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper, glue stick and scissors. You can also use patterned scrap-booking paper, parchment paper or construction paper cut to the same size.
2. Fold your paper in half once to make an 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ rectangle.
3. Fold it in half again to form a 4 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ rectangle.
4. Cut the folded rectangle from corner to corner.
5. Unfold the cut paper–you should have a diam0nd shape.
6 . Roll the diamond up into a cone and secure with glue.
7. Fill with your treat.
To stand these paper cones up at serving time you can use a box with holes punched in it (like this tutorial showing a cereal box holding snow cones) , or a container filled with rice/beans/pea gravel/sand to stand them up in (like at the bottom of this post showing Halloween party favors). You can also just stack them snuggly in a basket (as shown in the picture in this post on All About You).
For gifting you can just pour your treat into a disposable cake decorating bag, tie it with curling ribbon and slip it inside the cone.
These aren’t very good instructions. It needs photos. When it says “cut from corner to corner” that ends up making a bunch of triangles. Not a Diamond. I’m assuming there are more specific instructions to keep that from happening, but this has no pictures or details.
