DIY confetti cones



Pick a beautiful paper or even a vintage wallpaper...so long as it's cartridge paper thickness and matches your wedding! Create a template of paper (see link below). Copy the template repeatedly onto your chosen paper and cut them out.

Line one side with prit stick or super glue depending on the weight of your paper. Carefully curl the paper round on itself to form a cone. Hold securely onto the glued seam until the glue starts to set. Ensure the cone doesn't get squashed and pinch the point a little to ensure the confetti doesn't leak.




Keep going and soon you'll end up with a beautiful stack of confetti cones. Simply fill with your choice of confetti be it rice, dried lavendar, petals or biodegradable paper. For added design why not display them in a trug basket, small suitcase or even flower pots. Put beside the entrance to your church or ceremony venue your guests can grab a cone on the way out!
