Sweet Candy Cones with Handmade Papers

By -
Hi everyone, Steph here today creating some Sweet Candy Cones with Handmade Papers.



I spent a day recently creating an assortment of papers with the Arnold Grummer Papermaking Kit.  Once you get started, it's hard to stop once you see the fun papers you've created.  I took some of these handmade papers and rolled them into cones.  I used Scor-Tape to adhere them together.


To decorate the candy cones, I placed Beline Lace Feather Fringe from Expo International along the top edge, adhering it with Scor-Tape.  The fringe really dressed up my cones.


I then decorated the cones with assorted flowers and brads. 


Tissue paper was placed inside the cones then I filled the cones with candy.


How fun would these be at a party?  Wouldn't they make sweet table decorations?

Thanks for stopping by.

Steph

    Steph, reminds me of May baskets we hung on neighbors doors when we were kids. I haven't made a cone shaped project in a really long time. Thanks for the ice and sweet memory! Kim

    These are so lovely! Like Kim, I remember making May baskets. These would be really fun for that and they would be a party favor even without the candy! Love these.

Today I am excited to share with you just how simple it is to create a watermark  in your handmade paper.  I have to admit, I haven't made paper in a while and I needed a fun project to jumpstart me back in action. Nothing inspires me more than watching the man himself, Arnold Grummer demonstrate how it's done by watching his  video s . You can also get his book Trash to Treasure with great photos and clear instructions! He has a way of making everything look so easy so I thought I'd give it a whirl.  WOW! I am hooked on this decorative technique!  InstaGram Begin by assembling your materials for basic papermaking: torn paper water plus a blender plastic tub  papermaking screen, screen support grid, cover screen Pour or Dip handmold -  (I'll be using the large pour Handmold ) 2-Up or Deckle Divider Large Template plastic letters A2 Envelope Large Template (Watch this  video  for how to make a basic sheet of paper) ---------

This tutorial will show you how to create a chigiri-e inspired torn paper collage using handmade paper. Chigiri-e is a traditional Japanese craft. It is used for stationary, wall hangings, boxes and all kinds of decoration.   Handmade paper is perfect for this technique as the torn edges provide a lot of texture. This is a great time to use the scraps of paper left over from other projects as well as those pieces of paper that have irregularities.   Materials: - Arnold Grummer Medium Pour Handmold Medium Couch Sheets  (You are going to need a lot of these if you want to make the variety of colors you will want for making the variety of colors of paper to choose from that I want.) -Paper for background -Various handmade papers for the design -Embossing stylus (optional) or pencil -Tracing paper (I used Dritz Disappearing Mark-B-Gone Tracing Paper. It took a few days, but the marks are entirely gone.) -Glue -Tweezers -Pattern template below (optio

How to polish paper with a stone

Do you like to read about other handmade paper artisans? Recently I read an article from the Monte Crisco Magazine on Master Papermaker Francesco Proietti and one line really caught my attention. "Finally, a rounded stone “polishes” the paper until it is flat and smooth." Now I'm all about learning things the old fashioned way albeit I might not prefer to do it all the time, I do like my modern ways too, just saying. However I enjoy a respite from the modern world every now and then and this technique just called to me to try. So I got out from my stash a sheet of one of my "perfectly imperfect" hand made papers that I created using the medium Dip Handmold . I wanted a rough sheet of paper to see if this would actually work. I planned on doing a bit of stamping on it so I drew out a grid that I intended to polish. I'm glad I chose a small space because it is a little labor intensive although not difficult. By rubbing the stone over the pap
