The highlight at school enrollment is the school cone. And to make it pretty, we can easily make it ourselves. Here you will find great ideas for making school cones.
Only the best for our little ones! If it should be the handicraft set with horse motifs or rather the handicraft set with dinosaurs, then we will be happy to fulfill your wishes. At Craft kits the motifs are already pre-cut and we can glue everything on without a lot of clipping.
For all hobby hobbyists, however, it does not have to be a bought handicraft set. We can Make school cones easily yourself, even without a craft kit. We’ll show you step by step how this works.

- Measure the yellow bias tape, sew it together and fix it to the bag (poke small holes) with the sample clips.
- Make pompoms according to the instructions, fix them to the hair clips, put two pompoms on the ends of a piece of bias tape (pink).
- Measure the circumference of the bag opening, cut the striped fabric plus 2 cm seam allowance.
