Spooky Cone

Wow ~ two weeks have past again without a post! For those of you who don't know, I started working again. It's just part time, but it's taking me and my family a little time to adjust to me being gone 8 hours a day, a couple of days a week. It's amazing what doesn't get done in those 8 hours. I think maybe they are realizing that I actually do more than just spend all my time in my craft room.

I have another cute Halloween project for you. This is one you'll want to give to those special little goblins. It was created using the Big Shot and the Bigz L Petal Cone Die. You will need to cut 2 cones. This die works best using the Extended Premium Crease Pad, cutting just one layer of paper at a time. Using the Crease Pad will ensure your fold marks are scored properly making assembling your cone a lot easier.

Before putting the cone together, I embossed each piece using the Spider Web Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Then to add a spooky touch, I used a Sponge Dauber with White Stampin' Pastels and gently rubbed over the spider web. You'll also want to add your Designer Buttons strung on Hemp Twine before assembling your cone. Use a bit of Sticky Strip to tape the end of the twine inside the cone. Just use it like regular tape, without removing the top protective plastic strip.

Now, you can assemble your cone. Decorate the flaps with Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper, add a Scallop Dot Ribbon handle, secured with Glimmer Brads and you're ready to fill it with Spooky Treats!
