Fact is, I’m pretty rubbish at making paper cones without some type of template. So my fool proof method for cute party hats and noisemakers is: go to the dollar store, load your cart with the gaudiest paper hats and horns, cover them with pretty paper (Paper Source is my go-to), and go to town with the embellishments. It’s also a good idea to forgo the tablecloth on NYE and go with a pile of confetti instead. It’s not a good idea to see how many pigs in a blanket you can fit into your mouth at one time.
