This would be pretty. I suggest using scrapbook paper solids, one sided print that you like or double sided. Smaller one are easier to do with paper.

Very easy and I love the way the flowers came out. I recommend going straight to hot glue when creating the cones, especially of using card stock. Double sided tape and glue stick wouldn’t hold the shape.

Could this be made in a smaller size? I want to use them in my bouquet but the large size would be too big obviously. I am thinking that the larger ones would be great for on my wedding arch.

I used regular paper and it did the same thing. I used a regular glue stick and it worked much better.

Personally I use a glue gun. However, in her defense, she does state “Secure the paper as we do not want these cones to open while we are making our flower.” In my mind I took that as add additional tape to the outside to make sure in stays in place.

As far as the cardstock being a waste???? I waste nothing!!!! I would’ve grabbed a glue gun & rolled those same pieces and glued them.

Crafting is trial and error. I couldn’t begin to add up the hours I’ve put in to projects that didn’t turn out as the directions. But, I always try again. Usually by the second time I can get things completed better. Trial AND error. 🙂

I followed directions using two sided tape with the card stock, the next day 25 of the 30 taped cones were open. I made sure that the tape was firmly pressed. Other videos show glue gun being used versus double sided tape. Money down the drain for tape and package of card stock as well as 2 hours work of crafting time – ugg. Has anyone had this problem?
