DIY: Flower Pew Cone



This is from saves on craft web site. I was actually thinking of doing this, but I am having an indoor and not in church wedding ceremony. This would really look very nicely on the pew of any church wedding.

However, I could still use this idea to place behind the chairs. I add the swag of tule or organza which is cheaper.



Here is the instruction from save-on-crafts
