Spring Printable: How to Make a Paper Cone Posy

  • Twitter

In this post: Welcome the season by adding a posy flower into your spring decor. Use these free spring printables with directions for how to make a paper cone posy.⇒

I’m not much of a cook.

It’s not that I’m a bad cook.  Quite the contrary.  When it comes to holidays or entertaining, I’m actually a pretty decent chef.

But I utterly hate cooking!

I could never be one of those people that gets excited about cooking or planning my menu weeks in advance. I follow recipes like I’m doing a chemistry experiment, and will often put off the selection until the night before.

Not so with table decor, however. While others are working diligently on their menus, I’m blissfully immersed in the visuals that will greet my guests. I plan tables a month or so out, without ever thinking about what I’ll be serving.

It should come as no surprise, then, that my favorite thing to serve up on a plate is…

flowers!

Not, of course, as a replacement for a centerpiece.  But how lovely it is to have a sweet little posy at each place setting!

I’m delighted to be joining a wonderful group of bloggers today for the Spring Printable Blog Tour, hosted by my friend Kristen from Ella Claire Inspired. This is a new blog hop for me and one I’ve wanted to be part of for some time. The group is exceptionally talented and designing printables is a new passion of mine that blends my past experience as a graphic designer with my current focus on home styling.

I enjoy creating printables to be framed and used as wall art, but even more fun is developing pieces that have utility beyond the borders of a frame.

For today’s post I decided to tap into my love for personal bouquets set at each individual place setting. I designed paper cones adorned with pretty spring graphics to be used as posies that could be placed on salad plates, bowls or even in a goblet.

After the party each guest can take the posy home as a little gift from the event.

How to Make a Paper Cone Posy

The best part of this DIY craft is that it’s as simple to make as can be. I’ve supplied the template with the printable art already on it so all you need to do is these few steps.

1. Download the art to your computer.

2. Insert the paper stock into the printer. (See my tips below.)

3. Print out the art on 8 1/2” x 11” paper.

4. Cut out the template, trying to cut right inside the lines (so they are not visible on the finished piece).

5. Pinch the bottom point (to make it easy to roll) and roll into a cone.  

6. Tape or glue the overlapped cone together at the back. A single staple can help reinforce the bond.

7. Fill with flowers, real or faux.

Some extra paper cone tips

  • Pay attention to where you’ve downloaded the file so you can easily locate it to print.
  • The success of your cone is only as good as the quality of your paper. Use good quality card stock or heavy resume paper. A subtle linen texture could be nice, as well.
  • Choose the highest quality print setting.
  • Gather your flowers with a rubber band to keep them neatly clustered. Cut them a little too long and trim a little bit at a time to ensure they’re not too short to be seen over the edge.

My secret confession: I didn’t plan ahead and was out of the paper stock I wanted to use. So, I improvised… I used manila folders instead of paper! Just make sure you cut them small enough to fit through your printer.

Fresh flowers are always my preference but for longevity you can always use faux. You can also thread some ribbon into tiny holes punched at the sides and hang your posy over a door knob or hook. 

But my favorite way to use these are as adornments on each individual plate.

Cooking dinner is optional… 🙌

    HA! I’m so with you about the cooking, Lory! Unless I’m particularly inspired, I’d just rather leave that to my gifted husband, and spend my time setting the table! 🙂 Ever since I was a kid I’ve been leaving May Day cones of flowers on my mother’s door knob – now I’ll have a really pretty one for her! What a brilliant idea – you are so creative and always inspiring! :heart:

    Lory, glad to hear I am not the only one to admit I don’t like cooking. Tablescapes were my thing way before they had a title. Love the cone and plate stack including that bright green bowl. It’s the color combination of flowers that make the cones so striking. Quiet elegance is definitely your style.

    I used your printable to make a “tussie mussy” to hang on the doorknob of a friend who just came home from the hospital. What a hit. I printed out the postcard rabbit on a 8 1/2 x 11 flat matte canvas paper, punched two holes and hung it with a ribbon. She was thrilled. Thanks so much.

    Lory,
    I so enjoy your site and have submitted necessary info to subscribe. I have also tried multiple times to download the full set of cone printables. Somehow my info. is never accepted – at least not fully. I’m so disappointed – I followed you for so long before even trying to sign up. I don’t seem to have problems elsewhere. Is there anyway you can ck. or help?
    Thank you.

      Thank you for letting me know! Yes, I will absolutely help you. Can you please let me understand where the problem is? Which method did you use to subscribe (The form in the post? The one at the top of the page? The sidebar? The popup? The one under the header?) After filling out the form, did you receive the email to confirm your subscription? If so, did you click the button that says confirm my subscription? If so, did the artwork open and you’re having trouble downloading from there? Of did the artwork not open?

      As soon as I know where the issue is, I will try my best to help work it out. It’s very helpful to me to know if my website or email service is doing something wrong. Thanks so much!!

      Hi Nicci! Thanks for the kind words! What is the problem you are having with access? Did you click on the link to the subscribers library? That link is in every email I send, including the one that went out today. Once you click the link, you just need to enter the password. The password is also in every email I send, right above the link button. Are you trying those things and still not getting in? Please let me know if that helps. If not, I can email you the info. Thanks! Lory

      It’s in every email I send. It’s usually right below the feature post and it says “Subscribers Only Library”, then it gives you the password and there is a pink button to click that says “Get Free Stuff”. Click that and enter the password. That will give you access to ALL of the printables.
