Good morning my kind friends! I'm still thinking ahead to the holiday season and working out ideas and strategies that will help me to preserve time and budget during that often hectic time! Thus, I thought I'd write a quick post to share this charmingly simple DIY TUTUORIAL for creating these adorable & affordable (35 cents each) cocoa cones! (There is even a download for the pretty tag!) The cocoa cones were originally made to be given out as wedding favors. However...I thought they would make...
a lovely accompaniment to a larger gift basket...
perhaps include several cocoa cones...along with a nice waffle or pancake mix and homemade or purchased syrup inside a breakfast basket.
Or...include a few with a plate of your homemade cookies...
or prop one inside a charming mug.
Or...give as a token gift along with a holiday card.
Or...make a basket of cocoa cones to keep in your entry and give them out as token gifts when friends come by during the holidays...or...!!!
Truth be told...I'm not sure exactly how I'll use them...but you can bet I'll be making up a batch to keep in my holiday gift pantry!
Hope you're enjoying a happy and harmonious weekend!
Love and good thoughts to all, as always!
Warmly,
Tracey and Family

Thanks Tracey for the good ideas...am so worried about spending too much $ on christmas, maybe I such go back to basics and make all the gifts...take care..
I think that's a great idea Bettyann. Just declare to your family that this year is to be a "hand made Christmas"! Set the rules now and you will not believe how relieved everyone will be. Keep us posted!

Great idea Clarice, to use them atop packages!!! Perhaps include one with the gift of a book so they can enjoy the cocoa while they read! :)
