Fall Crafts: How To Make Pinecone Ornaments

Have an abundance of pinecones you don't know what to do with? There's numerous crafty things you can do with pinecones, but I'm going to tell you right now how to make an absolutely BEAUTIFUL pinecone ornament!!!

Here's the materials you are going to need:

Pinecones, Acrylic paint, Pliers, Wire nippers, 18-gauge copper wire, Hot glue, Fabric ribbon


You will need to collect several large pinecones and dab some of them with acrylic paint. Give it some time to allow the paint to dry.


Use pliers and wire nippers to twist 18-gauge copper wire into a 1-inch loop for each pinecone. Hot-glue the rings to the stem ends of the pinecones, taking care to cover the pointy ends of the wire in glue, as shown.


Tie varying lengths of ribbon to the rings, then tie all the ribbons together in a knot at the top.
