I tried doing a search, but perhaps this will be easier...
Can someone send me a link to a site that shows me how to make petal cones?
Thanks so much!!!

Re: DIY Petal Cones - Help
I know there's another thread on this, but this is how we did them for my sister:
We used the 6 inch doilies, rolled them into a cone (think waffle cone), hot glue gunned the seam closed, and then added sea themed stickers to them (one sticker, right on the seam), I'm sorry I don't have a pic-but we are not crafty at all, and short of getting some glue on my nails-it was easy, and quick-we made 100 in about an hour....now the biggest problem is keeping them safe from the dog until the wedding.
I hope this helps.

Re: DIY Petal Cones - Help
I have been using 6x6 paper (cut down from 12x12) then attaching it to a preprinted 8.5x11 sheet and running it through the printer. To close it I used some double sided tape and put on a bow:
#1 - TechniqueMaking Doily Cones Doilies, or other decorative paper Utility knife Sticker or tape rose petals 1. To make the cones, cut 12-inch doilies into quarters with a utility knife. 2. Roll the paper into cones, and seal with a sticker or tape. Stand the cones in a tissue-paper-lined box. 3. Fill the cones with fresh rose petals a few hours before the ceremony. You’ll need one opened rose for each cone.
#2 - Rose Petals (from Marther Stewart.com - see picture #1 below) Cut paper doilies into quarters, roll into cones, and seal with a sticker or tape. On the day of the wedding, fill the cones with petals from fresh, opened roses. Stand the cones in a tissue paper-lined box, and hand them out to guests just after the ceremony.
Although I'm not doing petals (b/c of the church)...a florist taught me how to make them. All you do is take a piece of white paper on an angel and tape it up the side...that's all the florist does (so I was told by one)! I can't say I tried this...so, let me know how it goes! Good Luck!
my pics are too big to put on the post...but check out my album...i just finished them yesterday...tedious work...but worth it. Also I will be adding that saying on the back as a sticker to complete the look.. Good luck
