DIY Winter Craft: Pine Cone Wreath

Pine cones are not just for December. They can be displayed all winter long with this quick DIY that uses supplies from your yard.

What you'll need:

• Wreath form
• Pine cones from the yard
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• White spray paint (optional)
• Ribbon or wire for hanging

Instructions:

#1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pine cones on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. This will open up the pine cones.

#2. Plan the placement of your pine cones on the wreath. Depending on the size of your pine cones, they can probably be placed side by side around the wreath.

#3. Add a dab of hot glue to the bottom of a pine cone, then place it on the wreath form. Repeat this until your wreath is full.

#4. If you'd like, add a few coats of spray paint to the pine cones to give them a wintry look.

#5. Tie a ribbon or wire around the wreath form to create a loop for hanging.
