Decorating a home with pine cones for the holidays or to create room filled with the outdoors is an easy and creative way to decorate a room.
Pine cones can be purchased at craft stores or you use cones found in the woods or in yards as long as they are picked up off the ground and not removed from trees. Pine cones from stores would be cleaner and less likely to bring any bugs or dirt in your house. Fortunately in the Milwaukee area we are not too far away from some beautiful hiking trails to find nature inspired craft ideas.
Some of the supplies you will need in order to create pine cones crafts are:
Bags of pine cones (scented ones are nice)
Ribbon
Brown Floral Tape
Wire Cutters
Strands of Beads
Floral Wire
Scissors, Tape Measure and additional Accessories
Some of the things to make to decorate a room in pine cones are:
Pine Cone Garland - A garland of pine cones make a beautiful decoration strung on a fireplace or around a Christmas tree.
Pine Cone Place Cards - This make a wonderful addition to any table and adding your guests names makes it even more special.
Pine Cone Centerpiece - A conversation piece filled with the outdoors.
Pine Cone Wreath - A wreath created from pine cones
