Notes
This tutorial creates a rather large cone. However, you could make a very small cone that holds just a little nosegay or bouquet instead.
You can wrap some wet paper towels around the bottom of the stems of the flower bouquet and add a bag with a rubber band to secure it. This will help keep the flowers fresh.
You can use a regular size hole punch. However, you may need to make a few knots to hold the ribbon in place.
