Paper Christmas cones are a traditional and very Victorian decor item. In this video you'll find a way to use a simple wire Christmas tree that I found at Dollar Tree and used it to turn it into a Christmas cone that doubles as decor and a Christmas party favor.
These cones can be filled with candy, popcorn, small soaps or tiny ornaments and used as decorations for your Christmas tree. They also can be filled with birdseed and berries and hang them from an outdoor tree to feed your feathered friends. Or hang them from your fireplace mantel or banister.
Get a couple of sturdy branches, put them into a pretty vase and then hang the Christmas cones from the branches as a centerpiece for your Christmas table. At the end of the meal, give the cones to your guests as party favors. Or gather them into a basket and give them to guests as they leave.
Take a photo of your guest and cut out the figure, mount it on cardboard, insert into the cone (as you can see in the photo) and hang from the backs of chairs as place cards.
Using these wire Christmas trees in a new way is an adorable and easy twist on the traditional Victorian Christmas cones. Plus they're much faster to make and just as decorative.
Thanks to Over the Top, Inc. for use of their lovely cranberry crushed silk tablecloth.
Happy Holidays!
