Decorative Hanging Cones

   I found this cute hanging cone decoration at Tuesday Morning the other day.  I bought two of them (one went to a swap partner) as that was all the store received.  I planned on hanging them from my chandelier, as pictured, but I need more....


    Isn't the beaded handle fun?  Just wire and seed beads...

   How about the dangles at the bottom?   I certainly have beads, now where to start?

   Look what I found at Hobby Lobby the next day!

   Now I just need to add some decorative paper, "hairy" trim and some jewels...

   To be continued...:)

    I tried to make a Halloween cone from scratch the other day and it was pretty hard! Did not come out well....

    I like the idea of buying the premade cone and then decorating. We dont have Hobby Lobby...maybe Michael's will have them. Thanks for sharing!

    I received a package from Mr.Mailman today and I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove everything in it! You are too sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wore my bracelet today to pick up the kids from school and right when Ronnie got in she said,"oh my goodness that is SO beautiful, where in the world did you buy that?" (looking at your bracelet) I told her you made it, she didn't believe me! Anyway, I'm just crazy in love with it! Thank you so much Lori~♥
    She is crazy in love with the Noel blocks and she calls the baby Noel when she talks about her now!
