OK so this is done! We'll I still have to add "goodies" to the inside of the cones but I will be doing that during nap time December 1st when I hang it up in the living room. The kids will be very excited when they get up and see it!!
MATERIALS:
12 pieces of 8-1/2" x 11" card stock
Ribbon (you decide how long you want your to be, Mine is 16")
Embellishments (stickers etc for decorating cones)
Glue gun and glues sticks
Hole punch
Scissors
DIRECTIONS:
1. Take 12 pieces of 8-1/2" x 11" card-stock and cut it in half to make it 8-1/2" x 5-1/2".
2. Then roll it into a cone, and secure with a glue gun. This will make 24 cones.
3. Put a piece of tape on the back side top of the cone and then put 2 holes using a hole punch directly across from each other. (The tape will help the cone from ripping).
4. Then decorate the cones any way you like, and add number 1-24 onto cones.
5. Then take ribbon and start string the cones onto it starting with #1 first threading from left to right. Thread 1 then 2 then 3 etc etc until all 24 cones are threaded through the string!
6. Tie ribbon ends and disperse cones evenly.
7. Fill cones with goodies and start counting down December first!
