FAF: Yarn Cone Trees

I stumbled upon this awesome project a couple days ago and have finally figured out what I am going to do with all of those cones I end up with from the yarn I get. All those pounds of yarn from the mills comes on these cardboard cones and the kids snitch them to make monsters out of. If the kids don't take them I just throw them away because I never knew what to do with them.

Now I do. How cute are these?

They don't have to be Christmasy either. I'm thinking they'd be a great way to show off our different yarns at festivals. Besides they are just too cute!! I need to get some more yarn in now because I am out of cones.


You can find the complete instructions here. I'd love to see some of yours if you make them too.

  3. Wish the link to the directions still worked. I guess it's kind of self explanatory but I do love to see all the hints I may not think of.
