Step-by-Step Directions:
- Print the petal cone template on the blank side of 12 x 12-inch Anna Griffin Decorative Paper. Alternatively, use 8-1/2 x 11-inch paper.
- Cut along the solid template lines using a craft knife or scissors. Mark the dotted lines with a pencil, using a ruler as a guide.
- Punch two 1/8-inch holes as indicated on the pattern. Thread the ribbon through the holes and knot both ends on the smooth side of the paper.
- Apply double-sided tape along the dotted lines. Fold the 90-degree corner of the paper to the dotted line without creasing the folded edge.
- Roll the paper twice until it meets the vertical dotted line.
- Fold the remaining paper flap around the cone and press firmly to seal with the adhesive.
- Print the gold circle template on adhesive paper. Stamp a custom monogram in the center of each circle using the rubber stamp and gold ink.
- Peel off the patterned stickers and adhere them to the cone. Fill with rose petals, lavender, or caramel-covered almonds, then fold the top flaps to seal.
- Hang the finished cones on the back of each guest's chair for a charming reception touch.
