Confetti? Help please :)

I got paper doilies from the pound shop - 60 in a packet and I brought some confetti from ebay (butterfly shape about £3) and there is a florist warehouse near where I live and I brought some large petals for about £2 and traditional confetti for about 79p. I think it should be enough to fill the 20 cones I made. I've seen traditional confetti in the Card Factory but if you want real petals I think Shropshire Petals has been mentioned on here a few times before.

Aww fab thank you

have you got a flash for me please? xx

I'm pretty sure you can get the natural flower petal type confetti from notonthehighstreet in a big bag... I can try to find a link if interested?

I think it may cost me too much around £20, maybe I should hope my guests bring it lol xx

I've just got a bargain off eBay 50 organza bags of dried petal confetti for £6.75 wooo! Now to decide if I want to bother with cones or keep them in bags xx

Sorry for duplicate post and large photo!

They look amazing! My doilies are really flimsy what size were yours do you remember? xx

I have no idea sorry. There was only choice of size but they were a decent size. I just cut a segment out of mine like a pizza and rolled it round and glued it. I practiced on quite a few until I got the right size.

I used 10inch dollies cut in half. I made a template using card the correct size and the just wrapped the dollies around and secured with double sided table. If you imagine the semi-circle of dollie, I put a strip of tape up to half way along the straight edge and then rolled around the template starting from the half without tape. As for confetti I made my own using petals. I dried them out I. The oven on gas mark 1 although my mum left hers on a tray in the conservatory. I would suggest only bright pinks or yellows as I am. To too keen on the cream. Red goes really dark. I would suggest getting a cheap bunch of roses and trying. It really was easier than I thought . Good luck x

Thanks ladies, I've got the confetti

i think I may use doilies and thick paper and wrap the doily round as mine keep squashing lol xx

My first rough attempt at a cone, what do you ladies think? x

Very good! DIY soon becomes addictive!

Have a look here as I have put together some ideas for confetti cones from what I have seen over the years.

Here is close up of a basket of doillies, but avoid the same type of confetti as it can be very scratchy and itchy down your top. !
