Mine??? I used a template a fellow bride sent me, cut them out and glued them. Then I cut slits and put the ribbon through for a bow...

Re: diy petal cones

those are georgeous!!!!! stupid question but how did you print the names on them in the right spot?

Re: diy petal cones

it was a PITA

first I cut out a template and played with the paper for a while until i made the cone just right... then i wrote my name on them where i wanted to in pen.

THen i undid the cone, and angled my text on the compt... i printed a few on plain white paper until i got them just right... everytime i printed i had to move the text a bit... once i got it, i printed them all out, then traced my original template onto them, cut them and then taped them together...
