pew cones= bane of my existence.

So I decided to go with pew cones thinking that they would be easier to do:
I was inspired to switch from cardstock to paper lace doilies from this photo
Then I tried to do it on my own
Yikes... I thought it looked not so great.
SO then I reverted back to my original cone idea and added our stamper monogram:
mmmm still hesitant. Mr. Mercy recommends plain cones with a bow upper-midway on the cone that is brown with pink stitching. My "better than Martha Stewart" (BMS) friend says it will look too busy... AH! I DONT KNOWWWWW

So then my BMS suggests just making pew bows out of tulle and some satin ribbon either brown or pink:
She suggests the "Nordstrom Knot" in order to achieve a full look.
Now "Save-On-Crafts" gives a very good step-by-step instruction guide on how to make bows:

ORRRRR I can crap the DIY and just purchase it from Dollar Tree for 2 for $1--> I would need 20 of them so total cost will be $10 with nooooooo hassle & noooooo stress.

Final Decision= I really don't know... we'll see???
