Pew Decor Cones
As we prepared for my daughters wedding the cost continued to rise, so after seeing that the pew decorations were going to cost $12 to $35 each pew, we decided to take this matter in to our own hands. There were no patterns on line to help and there was one on etsy with a cost of $10, so I would pass on that and just make up my own. After all how hard could a cone be? I grabbed a plate and traced around it on cardboard to make a template/pattern for my cones, and all 24 came together quickly. My tutorial is included if you find you are in need of quick wedding decoration. I also have made on a little larger to use as my door decoration for Valentines Day, so you can use yours for other things than just weddings. Maybe goody bags for a party, put on placemat to hold napkins and cutlery. The options are endless! Good luck and Happy sewing!

Each one could take about 30 minutes but if you cut them out at one time and do them all step by step, you could do 20 in about 3 hours.

Step 1
Gather supplies:
1. Plate or bowl to trace around
2. Cardboard for template/pattern
3. Markers
4. Scissors
5. 3 yards of Burlap will make 24 small 10" pew cones
6. 3 yards of lining fabric
7. Thread
8. Sewing machine
9. Hand needle
10. Jute rope/string
Step 2
Take the plate and lay it on cardboard. Trace around edge of plate. This will be your pattern/template for cutting out all of your fabric pieces.
Step 3
Cut out all of the fabric pieces using the pattern you just made and place them right sides together. For each cone you will need a outer fabric (part that shows) and inner fabric (inside lining).
Step 4
Mark a 6 or 7 inch (15-17 cm) opening space to turn the circle later and for the jute rope placement.
Step 5
Sew around the edge of the circumference using a 5/8" seam or width of your choice. Make sure not to sew between the area marked opening as this needs to stay open for now.
Step 6
Make sure not to sew between the area marked opening as this needs to stay open for now.
Step 7
Now you will want to clip in around the edges. You do this by clipping straight in toward the seam but NOT through the seam. This will help your circle lay flat when it's turned to the right side.
Step 8
Turn your circle to the right side through the opening and press with the iron. Press to the inside edge of the opening. Then put aside for the moment.
Step 9
Take your jute rope and ruler and cut into 12" long pieces(30cm). You will only need one length on each cone.
Step 10
Take your circle and your 12" length of jute and lay on a flat surface. Place one end of the jute about 1" (3cm) into the opening on one side and then do the same on the other end and pin.
Step 11
Using your sewing machine and stitch about 1/4" (1cm) in from the edge and then stitch again as close to the edge as you can.
Step 12
Now you have a hanging circle.
Step 13
With your circle laying flat. Fold over one side and then the other making a opening at the bottom as small as possible and make sure your jute hanger is at the top.
Step 14
Pin in place and grab your hand sewing needle and thread. You will want to start at the bottom on the underside and hand stitch all the way along the curved edge. Tie the end of the thread.
Step 15
And you're finished! Now stuff them with your choice of greenery or goodies!
