Well that's what I did anyway - (the choccies not the flowers and the other stuff.....)
I had made one of these a long time ago and have been promising myself each year since that I would make another!
NOTE TO SELF - these things are THE WORST EVER to photograph!!
Used a sheet of dark blue and white pretty K and Co paper (very old - had eons) to make the actual cone - it has vintage roses printed on it and I loved it so much I wouldn't use it.. but all things have to be used up eventually...
So cone shape duly cut out, I lined the inside with some strong white card, then dragged out the lace and bits box.
The pale blue and cream lace was stitched to the top of the cone, along with a piece of dark cream heavy vintage lace.
I used 2 more bits of the same blue/cream lace and stitched it down the centre then assembled the cone.
The very slim 'tassels' were made simply by separating an oddment of a bit of silky twine stuff, a short length of which was found in the box and then tied round a teeny pearl string handle (which you can't see very well in the photo) and secured to the edge of the cream lace.
The gold and pearl embellishment from my stash was threaded through a bit of pale blue ribbon and tied through the lace at the top and finally the scrap of organza rose trim glued in place.
All the lace and trim used where left over pieces - so am hoping this qualifies as 'snippets' and despite the grotty weather I am going into the Playground.

So very feminine and lovely! The days when ladies carried a Tussy Mussy were such a gentle time...too bad we don't do that any longer. This one is just the prettiest & most delicate lacey creation. What a wonderful gift it would make for someone very special. TFS
