TUTORIAL/TEMPLATE: SWEET TREATS CONE (BRENDA WALTON)

Another cone template...this one is a little fancier than the first one. One suggestion that could be applied to either cone: after cutting out the cone, use a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder to emboss a design on the cone. Remember, save time by printing directly on the back of the paper you've selected this will eliminate tracing the template on the paper, and you can cut out the cone along the printed lines.
