Alright, here comes Part 2 of the project. =D After letting it dry the whole night we came back downstair and took a look.
Everything seemed stiff and holding up fine so it was time to take the paper off the cone. I love how it still holds its shape without the cone. We did run into some difficulty taking the cone off because the bottom of the party hat was a little sticky still where the bottom trim was originally. To remedy that just tape over it before you start your project.
So the easiest way to take the wax paper off is to go inside the cone and start peeling the wax paper away on the inside of the tree. Handle the tree with care since it is fragile.
