I seem to be in a pine cone trance this year.
Pine cones are fairly easy to find and inexpensive. They’re readily seen in Fall and Winter creations. I tried to decorate for Christmas but wanted to keep it more winter friendly. When Christmas is over you lose the need for Santa and his reindeer. I want to be able to enjoy my decorations longer then a few weeks or even a month. So pack away Santa and his reindeer and bring on pine cones. Are you with me?
If you would like to make a pine cone tree this is how you do it.
Supplies:
One styrofoam tree form
Hot Glue
Hot Glue Gun
Pine cones
Hot Glue Gun
Pine cones
Needle nose pliers
Step One: Using needle nose pliers pull off the petals of the pine cones and set aside. Try to grab as close to the stem as possible and gently tug.
Step Two: After removing petals, hot glue the petals on to the tree form. Watch out for the hot glue it can burn you.
Step Three: Remove stray glue fibers hanging from the tree. You can simply melt them using a heat tool or pick them off with your fingers.
Tree forms come in many different sizes and colors. Mix and match tree sizes for a super cute centerpiece for your Christmas get together.
This little tree makes a wonderful Christmas table decoration.
Thanks for stopping by!

Your pine cone tree is beautiful. I saw one like it at Target, but I think yours looks even better. Thanks for sharing! Pinning this for later.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a sweet comment..
And Thank You for sharing my button.. I’ll grab yours to share on my blog too.
Great job! I’ve used pine cones for creating trees too. I’ve done it the way you’ve shown and I’ve also glued whole pinecones onto the foam cone. I have a mini collection of four pinecone trees that I’m using on my mantel and living room tables. Love the idea, and love that they can stay past Christmas. Thanks for sharing!
This is so cute- I wanted to make one of these and even collected a ton of little pine cones but I didn’t quite get there:( Maybe next year- pinning to remember! Thanks for sharing!!
Love this…I am totally pinecone obsessed this winter. I need to make one!
