U can still see colors & keeps dust off. Slip a sandwich ziplock bag over cone, see where U need to sew on each side, sew, cut off excess on bottom. Hope this is explained well enough.

That is a really great and inexpensive idea
I "try" to keep the bags that come with the cones but they invariably get lost in the chaos here.:roll:
Thanks!
