I just was at a local crafty store and saw antique paper cones that hang from the tree and are about 8 inches long, anyone have a template? They were $9.95 so of course I did not purchase any!!! Just thick paper with fuzzy pipe cleaners to make a handle

In the past when I've made cones I would just trace something round, cut it out, then cut the circle in half, then roll it up and decorate.
I think you mean you make one cut to the center of the circle. Then slide the cut edges past each other to make the cone. You may have to use a round platter to get a cone that is 8" long.

They were about 8 inches long and the shape of the ice cream cones that are not flat bottomed. I tried the cones from the gas station but they were a little too wide on the top and not long enough.

Thanks sacramentostamper! I will have to try your way of making cones next time. I apologize for restating your instructions. I love learning new ways to do things.
Not a problem. That's the beauty of this site, being able to share/learn from each other.
I've attached a picture of a cone that looks like the one I made out of polymer clay so you can get an idea of what I was talking about. Let me know what you think.
That is an awsome cone!!! I have been avoiding the whole pasta maker deal, but.... it might have to happen some day especially if I keep on watching Carol Duvall.
The cone I saw was thinner at the top, but I guess I will just get out the circle cutter and start experimenting. They had just put the edges together and sealed without an overlap, so that one might take me a minute to figureout, but I am saving $9.95 a cone I will tell myself!!!

The edges on the cone above are flush as well. I just used a reqular dinner plate as my guide then cut it in half.
I was going through some of my paper folding books and found a couple more patterns that I can scan and send to you if you'd like. Just give me the word...

Does anyone have a good idea for a beginner for pretty floral paper cones. Color for the wedding -- lilac. Need a ribbon to hang cones on the back of the chairs for a garden wedding. Sally
