13 Pine Cone Projects

The wonderful thing about Christmas decorating,

is that you can create beauty using

just natural elements provided by the good Lord.

One of my favorite elements is pine cones,

and you can usually find them free for the picking - 

if not in your own yard, then from a friend,

or in a park.  I constantly pick up pine

cones when on walks and have baskets of 

them all over, but I thought it would be nice

to find some pretty variations for them.

Here are 13 pine cone decor ideas 

that inspired me.  Click on the photos to

view from the original source (when known).

I really love this idea of stringing

them to make a garland.

Pine cones put back where they started...on a branch.

Simple, yet elegant.

Very pretty added to greenery and lights for a window garland.

I think these jars with pine cones would make

inexpensive, yet pretty gifts.  Just paint the tips,

add them to wire wrapped around the jar and 

include a candle inside.

Isn't this lovely?!

A cute idea if you are having dinner guests.

Coated with scented wax - pretty to look at and to smell.

Pretty pine cone trees

Pretty table centerpieces

Glued to the edge of a basket - very pretty!

And simply sitting pretty in a basket.

I remember doing this peanut butter and bird seed on pine cone

project with my kids when they were younger.

They had fun making them and enjoyed watching

the birds eat their treat.

Are you including pine cones or other natural

elements in your Christmas decorating?
