Water
Flour
Orange Black and Yellow Acrylic paint
Spray clear coat
A lot of newspaper
Scissors
20 oz empty and washed coke bottle
Duct tape
2 inch wide coark or rubber stopper
First, tear the newspaper into strips. This will be the base for the construction cone. Next, stir together 1 part flour and 1 part water. After the first cone, it is easier to determine how much paper Mache is needed in order to complete each one.

Prepare the coke bottom by removing the cape and cutting a 2 inch round circle on the top side. This will be the area where the change will go in. Next, cut the bottom of the coke bottle off.

Crumple newspaper up the length of the bottle and create a cone shape. Tape the newspaper in place. Be sure not to cover up the 2 inch hole, go around it.

Next, it is time to paper Mache. Start at the bottom and work up. Cover the 2 inch hole but mark where it is for reference. Once the cone part dries, flip it up and paper Mache the bottom completely, leaving only a 2 inch hole visible for the stopper.

Once the bottom has dried, cut a slit in the area where the 2 inch side hole is. Paint the cone orange with yellow construction stripes and black outline. Personalize the homemade party favor by including the guests name on it as well. Plug the bottom with the stopper and it is finished!
