The special feature: you can attach different hair ties, ribbons, or small accessories to the top of the cone. This transforms the paper cone into a real, tangible gift .
Here's what you'll need:
- The free PDF template (download for free here in the shop)
- Kraft paper or construction paper (preferably a bit thicker so the bag is stable)
- Scissors
- Glue if you want to glue the school cones onto cardboard.
- A hair tie, scrunchie, or small bow as decoration
📄 Printing tips for the best quality
To ensure your mini school cone is nice and sturdy and the hair ties hold well, I recommend printing the template on paper with a thickness of at least 160 g/m² – kraft paper or high-quality construction paper is ideal.
This keeps the bag stable in shape, and the colors really stand out.
If you would like to sew the hair accessory yourself, you can find suitable Reels with step-by-step instructions on my Instagram channel 👉 @kindsköpfle_schnittmuster .
