Using what we have in abundance, a wreath made from gathered pinecones is an easy DIY project for the holidays.
Start with a wire or grapevine wreath form as your base.
Gather pinecones of various sizes and shapes for added texture.
Using a hot glue gun, attach the pinecones to the wreath form, starting with the largest cones and filling in gaps with smaller ones.
Position the pinecones at slightly different angles to create a natural, layered look.
For a secure hold, wire the larger cones in place with floral wire before gluing.
Make sure to cover the entire wreath evenly for a polished finish.
Once the base is complete, personalize your wreath with decorations like ribbons, faux berries, greenery, or even glitter for a festive touch. A wide ribbon bow can be attached to the bottom or top as a centerpiece.
If desired, spray-paint the pinecones gold, silver, or white for an elegant look, or leave them natural for rustic charm.
To hang your wreath, loop a piece of ribbon or wire around the top and secure it to a hook or nail. Your handcrafted pinecone wreath is now ready to bring holiday cheer to your home!
