Flower Cones for Mother’s Day Bouquets

These cones make it easy to hang a bouquet of flowers on mom’s door in the morning, and it’s a beautiful way to present her with a Mother’s Day gift. To make them, cut some medium-weight paper or cardstock into a perfect square (7×7 inches for small bouquets, and 9×9 for larger bouquets). Decorate 2 edges with decorative scissors or markers, and roll into a cone with decorated sides making the cone face. Secure the outer flap of the cone with craft glue. Punch 6-8 holes in the top of the cone, beginning at top front center, 1 inch apart. Threat a long ribbon through the holes and tie a bow at the front, leaving a long loop in the back to hang your homemade Mothers Day flower cone.
