Hi Winniepooh,

Just take a rectangular sheet of paper - 8 X 6in. is a good size to use. Hold one point...... on the short side, in left hand & hold the end opposite, which will be on a long side in right hand. ( Are you with me so far???). Bring the right hand over left hand & as you do so the paper will begin to form a cone shape. Draw left hand slightly away from you & continue to twist the cone. You will end up with the wide/open end in left hand & pointed end in right hand. Just twist the pointy end a few times to seal cone & voila.....a paper cone in which to put your sweets:) I hope I have not made something simple sound complicated - now if you are left-handed....that's a whole other story!! Happy cone making.

Bibi.

Hi Winniepooh, next time you are up my way, I will show you two other simple paper folding techniques for putting things in, one a stronger sort of cone shape that I use for giving little pot plants to people (have also used them for free range eggs) and the other a neat pyramid shape for small presents. Cheers, Eibhlin.
