I wanted to try making my own yarn cones. It seemed easy, quick and super adorable once done! Candy corn is my all time favorite candy, even off season. So naturally I am obsessed with it. I went to the store and bought yarn and the cones for this project. I want to say the total cost was $10. This covered two small cones, one large and three different colors of yarn. Cheap easy and quick, I love it! It was mostly a lot of yarn wrapping which did not take too long once I got the feel of it. I have these displayed on my living room coffee table and they are the perfect compliment to all my decorations.
Yarn, foam cones, scissors and sewing pins are the supplies
I took a sewing pin and using the end piece of yarn, pushed it into the cone
I started wrapping the yarn, alternating colors
At the top, I used a sewing pin to secure the end piece of yarn
I liked the yarn to be “messy” so I wrapped in no order. It was easier this way too
Here is a tall and short cone
My centerpiece on the coffee table
Supplies:
- Foam Cones
- YarnÂ
- Sewing Pins
- Scissors
Directions:
- Using the end piece of yarn, push a pin into it pressing firmly into the foam cone
- Start wrapping (I alternated colors and each time, use a pin to secure the yarn)
- Once you reach the top, cut the yarn and push a pin into the foam cone, making sure the yarn is secure
