1. Print the petal cone template on the blank side of 12" x 12" paper to decorate; alternatively, 8-1/2" x 11" paper can be used.

2. Cut along solid template lines with a craft knife or scissors. Then use the pencil to mark the dotted lines. Use a ruler as a guide.

3. Use a single 1/8" hole to punch two holes as indicated in the pattern. Thread the ribbon through the holes and knot both ends on the smooth side of the paper.

4. Apply double-sided tape to the dotted lines, then fold the 90-degree corner of the paper to the dotted line. Do not fold the folded edge of the paper.

5. Scroll the paper twice until the roll meets the vertical dotted line.

6. Fold the remaining flap of paper around the cone and press lightly to seal the adhesive.

7. Print the gold circle template on contact paper. Custom ink with monogrammed rubber stamp and gold ink and press in the center of the circles.

8. Peel patterned sticker from paper and adhere to cone. Fill the cone with your choice of rose petals, lavender, or candy-covered almonds. Fold top flaps to seal.

9. Hang the cones on the back of each guest's chair.
