Q&A for How to Make a Funnel or Cone from Paper

This is so that the cone that you are making does not fall apart, making you have to redo your project. Also, when it's on the inside you won't see it, making it more aesthetically pleasing.

Paper will not hold alcohol - or any other liquid - for any extended period of time.

You could easily decorate the paper before you make the funnel, or buy cool paper, but you could also put a little pom on the top/around the ring. You could also cover it in glue and sprinkle confetti on it. There are plenty of visual ideas on Pinterest or Google images if you search "party hats."

Microsoft Paint can make the circle size you want and bend the text. This also can be done in Word.

No, because of cardboard's structure. It would be ridged and would not work very well, if even at all.

No, cardboard is too thick to be bent into a funnel.

Use a compass, or you can touch your pinky knuckle on the paper, hold your writing utensil, and rotate the paper around. That should make a perfect circle.

Yes, as long as it's not as thick as, say, cardboard, it will still work.

No, using cardstock will not change the outcome of the cone, other than making it stronger and more durable, but it might be a bit harder to fold.

To make the cone strong so it could hold items, you can use a harder material, such as cardstock, instead of something like printer paper that will easily break.

If you are using the second method, you can flatten it on its side, but not top. For the first method, you can do the same, but again the top cannot be pushed down.

Sure! You can make a paper box , a cardboard box or a gift box for easy options. Basically, you need to have six sides or faces that can join to make four walls and a top and a bottom.

Yes, you can place the cone on a cardboard rocket. You will need to slide and stick it horizontally lying on the rocket and tape in place firmly.
