Please forgive the blurry pics..I'm new with the digital camera! Silk rose petals are only used here for effect. They will be real on the wedding day.

Re: My Rose Petal Cones...Whadda ya think?
Yup, I made them myself after going through 5 different versions of them this is the final version I came up with.
I made them using Print Master but you could probably do it in any creativity program.
1. Make a circle with a 6-inch diameter (six inches across the middle of the circle).
2. Put your text in where you want it. I added a nice love quote underneath our names.
3. Print them on cardstock. The cardstock I used was Crushed Leaf Silver Sparkle by FoxRiver Paper. You can't see it in the pics but it has a nice shimmer to it.
4. Gently fold the paper into a cone shape and staple in the middle. The front fold will be sticking up a bit so I just hotglued that down.
5. I made the red seals using faux wax and a LOVE seal. I then glued the seal over the staple. (I tried tying bows but they all came out crooked)
6. I then cut the top edge with a decorative scissor.
To put them all together I'm going to do it in stages (Cut all the circles out, make all the seals, glue them all together etc...) so it shouldn't take that long. (Hopefully)
I tried just making the cones out of doilies but they didn't seem that sturdy and I was afraid they'd all get squashed in the basket. The cardstock seemed sturdier.

They look great!!! I saw something similar where the girl put in their wedding song on top.......I plan on doing the same thing....thanks for saving me the 'trial and error' phase of figuring it out on my own!!
