So I saw these pine cone trees in a Target add around the holidays and thought they would look great with my pine cone garlands but didn't want to spend the $25.
Instead, I bought this Styrofoam cone from Joanns for $4.50
I cut the pine cones in half with one of my husband's new steak knifes :) and hot glued those suckers onto the cone. The tricky part was making sure that none of the white cone part was showing through. To fix that I used little pieces of the pine cones and hot glued them into all the little openings.
The finished product
so cool! i'm a sucker for anything cinnamon scented.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine!
ReplyDeleteI really love these...BUT it's time to put this holiday stuff away!
ReplyDeleteWhose the scrooge who said the above? The holiday isn't even here yet and what a wonderful way to enjoy the whole season but to make that pine cone tree? It's fabulous, and since I'm into doing crafts, I love stuff like that. Scrooge would hate my house if she saw it at ANY hoiday time. Thanks for sending along the instructions---it should be so much fun to make. I have made many heritage wreaths (all pine cones, a "up north" project), and they hang in my house all year with different colored bows for the different seasons. I hope many people enjoy making this tree and have so much fun doing it. How about giving Jonathan a new set of steak knives for Christmas--it will also be to your advantage. I enjoyed the humor that went along with the instructions. Thanks again. Terry
