I was trying to do this quick and simple !

I am currently working on a cardboard cone type thing with no very good results so far!!!

I suppose I could make a framework for it, but it could be time consuming.

why couldnt palitoy package the chutes with some sort of display "thing" !!!!!!!

pop it over a sombrero?

old frying pan?

blow up a balloon, papier mache over the ballon, burst the balloon then cut out the papier mache to the size of the chute!

sorry, I am trying to help but silly things pop into my head instead...

I am open to any suggestions !!

im on a mission now, the chutes are back out of the drawer and I refuse to put them back !!!

becoming frustrated tho, they will be displayed !!!!

I also have my son offering "useful" tips, but my daughter just walked in, shook her head and walked out again !!!!!!
