DIY: Mini Pine Cone Wreath Ornament

Here we are, another DIY as easy as the A-B-C's - not to mention

incredibly light on the wallet. So cheap you could collect sidewalk

change to pay for this project! The idea for this ornament came as

I was cutting the tops off pine cones for my wreaths and all these

little flakes fell off. Instead of throwing them away this is what I

did! Everything I used except for the glue was from the earth or

leftover bits, such as the cardboard and jute. If anyone knows of

an eco-friendly alternative for glue sticks, please share! So put

cheery Christmas music on, fill your glass with deliciously

creamy eggnog and go make some holiday crafts! 

Steps:

1 Take pine cone flakes off your collected pine cones.

Note: Try to take already fallen cones from several trees.

If they are damp and closed, just wait a couple of days,

they'll open up. 

2 Make wreath cut outs on cardboard or other non-flexible

material. Cut out. 

3 Glue pine cone flakes onto cut-out. 

4 Glue jute onto back. 

Easy-peasy!
