    marge was thinking i guess you would have to somehow make a cone-shape frame then line it with plastic, then with your cones attach them to the outside with garden twine, cost could be involved with these as mine were only about �£6 each and i doubt you could make them cheaper than that. Been to wilkinsons and i have never seen them since but you could hit on lucky, anyway good luck, let us know.
