Now roll the quarter circle of paper into a cone shape and secure the straight edges with a double sided tape. Cut a 4 cm strip from a paper doily to fit around the top of the cone. Stick the strip to the cone with double-sided tape so that its lacy border protudes about one-fourth inch above the edge.

Stick the double sided tape along one edge of the colored organdy ribbon and attach it just below the doily. Trim to fit at the back. Glue the gold lace along the seam between the ribbon and doily, tucking a blue and a green feather underneath.

Make a small hole on either side of the cone and thread through the gold cord for hanging. To speed up the marking and cutting of the cones, cut out all the paper squares first and makr the quarter circle on one of them. Place one or more squares neatly underneath it and cut the curved edges of them all at once.
