Mini Pine Cone Wreath
These are much easier to make than the wreaths using the
large pinecones. You can purchase 1400+ of the Tamarack pinecones for only $20 plus shipping
from Bobbi at: http://www.pinecones.com/prod.html.
I have searched high and low and she has the best prices and the best
selection.
Supplies
Tamarack pine cones
(these are only ¼ inch wide)
10 inch round polystyrene wreath (like smooth Styrofoam)
hot glue gun
18 – 20 inches of ½ inch wide ribbon
brown acrylic paint
sponge paint brush
paper plate
bow

Instructions
- Pour a good amount of your paint onto the paper plate.
- Paint the wreath brown all the way around, front and back. I did this over a paper towel by the way. Allow to dry for about 20 minutes. It doesn’t matter if it isn’t perfect. It just camouflages the gaps between the pine cones.
- Pull the two ends of your ribbon together and knot them.
- Place the ribbon around the wreath as shown in the picture.
- Pull the unknotted end through the knotted loop.
- Cut off the excess ribbon at the loop and glue the knot to the back of the wreath.
- The front of your wreath will look like this.
- Glue a row of pine cones around the center of the front of the wreath. Again, this doesn’t have to be perfect – just close.
- Here is the progress after adding three rows of pine cones.
- Here is the progress after I finished to the back through the center of the wreath.
