Step-by-step

Step 1
Cut the paper into 20 x 20 cm squares.

Step 2
Form the individual sheets of paper into cones with a sharp point and secure with tape or glue. Double sided tape is recommended.

Step 3
Use the edding 751 gloss paint markers to write the numbers one to twenty-four on the cones. Either use the number or write out the numbers in words. Both look great.

Step 4
Punch a hole on either side of the finished holder and run a ribbon through to create a loop for hanging.

Step 5
Finally, wrap the treats in tissue paper and place in the cones.

Step 6
Hang the finished cones on a wooden board with hooks, or wherever you like.
