Abstract: An aspect of the disclosure provides for a cone rolling machine. The cone rolling machine includes a pulling mechanism, a tensioning mechanism, a cutting mechanism, a transport mechanism, a gluing mechanism, and a rolling mechanism. The cone rolling machine is configured to pull paper from a paper source, maintain a consistent tension in the paper, cut a cone blank from the paper, transport the cone blank to a gluing mechanism, apply glue to an edge of the cone blank, and roll the cone blank into a cone. Another aspect of the disclosure provides for a method of making a cone. The method includes pulling paper from a paper source, cutting a cone blank from the paper, transporting the cone blank to a gluing mechanism, applying glue to an edge of the cone blank, transporting the glued cone blank to the rolling mechanism, and rolling the cone blank into a cone.
