Whether for the start of school or as a sweet farewell greeting for kindergarten: These small DIY school cones are quick to make and can be wonderfully filled with small gifts or sweets.

Colorful mini school cones lie against a purple background

With our origami paper, colorful ribbon, and a few simple steps, you can create sweet little bags that are perfect as table decorations for the first day of school, as a small gift for the first day of school, or as a farewell present for kindergarten. A particularly lovely feature: combining the front and back of our origami paper creates a harmonious color scheme.

  • Adhesive or double-sided tape

  • Scissors

  • Ties

  • (optional) Name stickers

  • our PDF with the free digital instructions

  • and of course: the joy of crafting


* Exclusively for the start of the school year, you can buy our double-sided origami paper as a craft kit including colorful ribbons in matching colors and adhesive labels for writing on.

One pad of our origami paper is enough for 10 small school cones – you need about 2.5 sheets per cone.


Here's how it works – in short:

  • You can make about ten mini school cones from one of our origami blocks.

  • With a few folds, cuts & a little glue, a square can be turned into a small school cone in just a few minutes.
