How to roll a cone

I use 7" squares cut diagonally to make 2 triangles. Each triangle will make one cone. Many people use rectangels or other sizes of triangles. Try a few different methods and see what works best for you.

*Hold the triangle's long side in your left hand about 2/3's of the way down. The inside should be facing you.
*With your right hand grab the top point and turn it down toward you making the cone. The tip should form just above your left thumb. You can adjust the width of the cone now. I like mine narrow.
*Now hold the cone in your right hand by putting your thumb on the inside and a finger on the outside.
*With your left hand roll the remaining mylar around the point you created. Now you can adjust the size of the tip by pushing and pulling the inside layer of mylar while holding the tip still.
*Now put a piece of tape around the tip, and one one the outide seam. Many people also tape the inside seem, but I don't find it to be necessary.

How to fill a cone

This demo is pretty self explanatory. The one thing you can't see very well is that I put a piece of tape half overlapping the large opening of the cone after I fill it 2/3 of the way. Then when I fold the top to roll it down the tape seals of the opening and prevents leaks.

Another method of sealing the cone is to twist the top and close it off with a small rubber band.

Check it out.


Dear Reader,
