Sweetie Cones

Katgoddess

Does anyone have any tips or hints for making these? I'd like to make some for Christmas stocking fillers and presents, but also thinking waaaaaaay ahead as an alternative to party bags for my son's birthday next year. I can buy them as a bulk lot from Ebay.

I have access to a printer to do labels.

Thanks

Sweetie cones are a great idea, but watch what size cello bag you buy as the large cones need lots of filling. This gets costly if you fill with small sweets.
I have secured the cello bag top with a new hair pingy bit rather than an elastc band as this stops the elastic band damaging the cello, but maybe thats just me.
I then add a swing tag and ribbon.

Not sure if you live near Ikea but they sell small kilner jars for £1 each and i used these last year as an alternative to the bags.

Good luck with your sweetie bags, you have me thinking about my sweetie fillings.

I got the Big boxes of Haribo from Costco last year, (for school) and got first pick as I was the one assembling the cones for the shcool fair...
I also get mugs & fill them from the big tin of wrapped chcolates that are now £5 or £4 (if you get lucky!), and wrap the lot in cello scrumepd from Interflora. They have to change cello every 3 motnhs - so I go in and ask for any remnants of last seasons cello...
