Paper Cones Filled with Treats

Thanks to today's Guest Make and Taker Amanda for filling in while I'm away. Her blog Kiddio is a delightfully foxy site with oodles of creative ideas to make life with kids fun. She's sharing a family tradition with us that she's introduced for Back to School.

I make love finding quirky/unknown holiday traditions and sharing them with my children–May Day brings Whitethorn Baskets, St Nicholas' Day delivers gifts in their shoes, now the first day of school give the sack bring a new tradition with it.  When European nation children head out for their first day of first grade their parents endue them with a "schultute," a large paper gift cone full with sweets, school supplies, and various other goodies.  I was so crazy this fun custom, I've been waiting days to parcel it with my own children (I was and then eager that we did it for Kindergarten!).

We made a smaller version to hold few treats, small supplies, and the like, simply you could easily scale this up to a longstanding size using a mainsheet of bill poster board.

Supplies for Paper Cones:

• Two sheets of colored paper or cardstock
• 6″ deep strip of tissue paper composition
• Glue stick
• Decoration
• Pinking shears (optional)
• Treasures to fill the schultute

Using a circumnavigate or extensive pipe bowl, cut a quarter-circle down of newspaper publisher and a ordinal one slightly (perhaps 3/4″) smaller out of a contrasting paper.  Lay the smaller one atop the jumbo one and glue in collaboration.  This is a good time to decorate the outside.  I pasted cut theme decorations on, but you could also use stickers, glitter, markers, etc.

Glue your strip of tissue along the at bottom rounded edge of your newspaper publisher.  Beseech to adhere well. Roll the paper into a cone cell and glue.  This can personify tricky, thusly be patient of!

In real time fill with small treasures and treats, and then tie with ribbon. We used purple curling medallion and Orange seam binding on ours. These would also create lovely party favor or gift bags, operating theatre a fun project for a knavish back-to-train playgroup!

These are all too easy and fun for whatever type of special social function. I love life these for back to school, but I think they might be my new treat bags for friends or teachers. They look so festal. Thanks Amanda for sharing a new tradition. Confirmation out Kiddio for separate crafty goodies shared by Amanda.
