Paper Stockings - by D2 - DeeDee

"Hey everybody!! When I started out to do this project I had this grand scheme about doing a PAPER stocking... sewing and paper pieces.. distressing and filling.. then hanging it from the mantle and admiring my beautiful work for the next month and a half... Um, NO! that is not what happened. But I have found a new for SIMPLICITY! So today I have for you.. a CONE. That's right.. a cone.

String it, fill it, and hang it! Very similar to a stocking, with a slight design difference :)

Plus.. it's a TON easier to make! 

My supplies:

Echo Park's everybody loves chirstmas (Easily replaced with Holly Jolly, Times and Seasons or any type of great paper!)

recycled packaging material from CC (I know there have been questions on how to recycle this.. Here's one!)

twine (Think that gorgeous Twinery goodness that CC now has!)

CHRISTMAS GOODES (lollies, reese's trees, chocolate coal, peppermint chews and candycanes! 

Steps:

1) cut circle (I did 10 inches)

2) Distress (optional)

3) Fold in sides.. do not crease :)

4) Glue edge!

5) Punch holes (one on each side)

6) String that twine!!

7) Line with paper for an added "pretty"

8) FILL WITH GOODIES!!!

Here's a short video on just how to bring in the sides and make your cone!

Now my children, during this joyous holiday.. go forth and CREATE GOODIE FILLED CONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everybody! Over n out -DeeDee!"
