Flower cones can add a creative touch to your home decor and will look like you spent a fortune. A few simple items are all that you need to put together these delightful flower holders. Use the flower cones as centerpieces for a wedding or to decorate any room in your home. Make several flower cones of varying heights and set them on a small table or wall shelf.
Instructions
1. Choose various size Styrofoam cones. For home decor, choose two or three with varying heights. If you plan to use the flower cones as centerpieces, group three of varying heights on a silver tray or round mirror.
2. Spray paint the cones with a metallic paint, such as gold or silver. For easier application, insert a small wooden dowel about 2 inches into the bottom of a cone and hold while spray painting. Be sure to apply the paint in a well-ventilated area. Let each cone dry completely.
3. Cut the stems on the flowers so they are about two inches long. Use any type of flower that matches your decor. Gerber daisies, hydrangeas, calla lilies and roses are all good choices.
4. Insert one to two flowers into the pointed end of each cone. Glue a small amount of craft moss around the cone, directly under the flowers, to hide the stems. If desired, glue on a bow. Set the finished cones on a wall shelf, table or use as centerpieces.
