According to the all the directions I've seen to make calla lillies, you are supposed to form it around a pointed paper cup. I haven't seen one of those in YEARS ! I've got to work on them tomorrow (I've already put it off way too long). Walmart, dollar store, office supply place... no one has them.

I think I'm just going to try to make some cones out of posterboard. I should've tried to experiment a bit before I needed them, but there just hasn't been time. Making my own cones is just adding another step, but I don't know what else to do.

Has anyone tried something else? Those who've made callas, what did you use?

What about making some parchment bags and using the ends of them? Other than that you can take some regular paper and draw a circle, cut your circle in half then use that to form your cone, which is what I do.

I haven't tried it, but a friend of mine said the best former she ever found was some tacky plastic calla lilies she picked up at a dollar store. She dissected them to take out the center, and just placed her gp calla in the plastic calla to set.

I just made mine out of regular paper and scotch tape. They worked like a charm, didn't take long either.

Also it is out of season but if you want to stock up next spring i know walmart and target had pionted paper cup with the snow cone stuff last spring. i think parchment paper bags should work just fine but i have never tried so i am not much help

Thanks for the suggestions. I thought regular paper wouldn't be strong enough but if you others have used it, that's what I'll do.
