DIY Burlap Purple Coneflowers

Easy
I love seeing purple coneflowers in the garden and thought about using them in place of sunflowers in décor. To my surprise, I really couldn't find much of anything so far as using purple coneflowers around the house or in crafting. Why is that? It's such an unusual shaped flower well respected among gardeners and scientist, alike.
At the top of the stem is a single large coppery brown cone which is quite impressive. It is surrounded by droopy petals, in shades ranging from lavender, pink and purple. It's medicinal powers are both ancient and modern.
Haven't decided how to use them . . . maybe in a wreath or centerpiece.
