Method 1 of 3: Making a paper cone from a disk

1. Make a disk out of paper. The radius of your circle determines how high your cone will be. The larger the radius, the higher the cone. You can look up a circle template on the internet and trace the shape on whatever paper you want to use. If you choose to make your own disk, do your best to make the shape as round as possible.
   • If the shape or dimensions aren't right, it will have a big impact on how your cone looks in the end. It's a good idea to put in a little extra effort to make the circle as round as possible.
   • To draw a disc, you can also use a compass or outline a circular object, such as a lid or a round container.
2. Choose the correct paper. If you already have a clear idea in advance of what you are making the cone for, it helps to think about the material you will be using. Some papers are more suitable for certain crafts than others.
   • Printer paper is great for cones that are only used for decoration. You can color or draw on it in many ways.
   • A thick sheet of craft cardboard is the best material for making party hats.
   • Baking paper is a good choice if you are making a funnel for baking.
3. Look up ideas to get more inspiration. There are tons of ways you can decorate a paper cone. You can of course try to come up with things yourself, but you can also find inspiration by looking at the creative crafts of other people. Experiment with different techniques to make a cone. Decorate your cone with new materials. When you do crafts at home, the possibilities are endless.

Tips

• Practice makes perfect. The more cones you make, the better they will become.

Warnings

• Do not rush to measure, draw and cut the triangle. It may not be as much fun as decorating your cone creatively, but if you make mistakes at the beginning you may have to start all over.
