Paper Doily Potpourri Favor Recipe

Paper Doily Potpourri Favor

From deliathecrone 15 years ago

I made these doily cones to fill with potpourri as a summertime favor. Some of my friends tell me they still have theirs.

Holding doily in both hands with point down shape into a cone and glue in place.
Fill with flowers as a table favor at showers, OR
Fill with crinkle paper and chocolates and place at the head of dinner plates, ready for after dinner treats, OR
Fill a piece of tulle with potpourri tie with a pretty ribbon and place inside the cone and keep in a guest room to add fragrance, OR
Fill the cone with rose petals to be thrown at the Bride and Groom.
I did the potpourri idea, with the tulle liner in the doily. I used the same color ribbon to close the tulle liner as I did the ribbon handle to hang the cone by, which I stapled to the doily.
For a crowning effect, I found silk flowers in different colors and glued the underside of the flower petals to the top edge of the doily cone, using a different color or different flower for each guest.
