Four decorative cones hang from small pegs filled with rose petals.

Overview

Encourage your guests to join in on the festivities by displaying cute cones of petals for throwing fun. Match the paper cones and spray paint colour to your party theme for a cohesive decorative look.

Steps

1Paint the fence posts

Wear a mask and gloves and work in a well-ventilated area to apply a spray primer and leave to dry, then apply two coats of spray paint, leaving to dry after each.

2Secure posts into the ground

Position the posts about a metre apart and tap them at least 150mm into the ground with a mallet. 

3Attach rope and cones

Thread craft rope between the holes of the posts, and knot. Fill the paper cones with petals and attach to the ropes with mini pegs.

Pro tip Rose petals are an eco-friendly alternative to foil or paper confetti.
