Both immature green pinecones and old dried pinecones make for great mini Christmas trees. They look so cute with cotton as snow and beads and necklaces as ornaments. They make cute little centerpieces. This craft is great for all ages.
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 2 trees
Supplies:
- 1 dried pinecone
- 1 green pinecone
- cardboard tube from toilet paper
- paint
- paintbrush
- scissors
- glue
- cotton
- beads
- necklaces
Steps:
- Paint cardboard tubes. I used red and green.
- When dry, cut rings about 1/2 to 3/4 inches high. This will be the base for your trees.
- Glue the cardboard ring base to the bottom of your pinecone.
- Pull apart some cotton to fluff it up then place it around the pinecone.
- Add little dots of glue to the points of the pinecone. Let the glue get a bit tacky as you work around the cone.
- Press your beads into the dots of glue.
- Affix base to green pinecone.
- Wrap with necklaces. You don't need glue for this.
