Easter Cone Ornament
You can tape the edges together instead of using glue.
This project is rated: EASY
Materials needed:
- Computer paper or card stock
- Craft knife or scissors
- Glue or tape
- Crayons, colored pencils, or paint
Project Instructions
- Print either the plain pattern at right, or the pre-colored pattern below, on paper or card stock.
- Color the plain pattern to suit yourself.
- In either case, cut out the cone along the outer edges.
- Roll the cone into an approximate cone shape. It is easier to glue if some shaping is done first.
- Apply glue to the glue tab. The right edge of the ornament has a dashed line parallel to the right edge. The area between the dashed line and the right edge of the ornament is called the glue tab.
- Complete the cone by bringing the glue tab under the left edge and press the two edges together with the left edge along the dashed line. You may need to hold the edges together until the glue dries.
- There are two alternatives to gluing the cone. First, you can tape the edges together instead of using glue. Or, use your craft knife to cut small slits along the glue tab as indicated. Then, the small tabs on the left of the cone can be slid through the slits and folded down to hold the cone in place. This would give the advantage of being able to open the cone to lay it flat for storage and future re-use.
