| Pinecone Garland found on Pinterest. Too fancy for me! |
I’ve been (p)inspired this year by all of the pinecone crafts on Pinterest and I wanted to make a pinecone garland. However, I didn’t really find the tutorial I was looking for – I wanted something simple and rustic. I collected pinecones in November as they fell off of the trees, and put them in a big bowl. Then I sat down with Pinterest. The above photo is cute, but looks like more work than I wanted to put into it. I had a roll of dollar store twine in the drawer and wanted to use that – I thought it would look good with the pinecones.

| Twine wrapped around pinecones = 2 ingredient Christmas Craft! |
I found one site that was sort of useful, it was a little bit what I was looking for – but the instructions said to tie the yarn around the stem of the pinecone. I don’t know about you, but I don’t recall ever seeing a pinecone with a stem. Of the 50+ pinecones that I collected this fall, I could not fine a single one with a stem. I didn’t think that white glue would work, and I can’t find my glue gun, so i decided that I would wrap the twine around the inside base of the pinecone, over and under the branch-like protrusions (what in the world are those called?!). I didn’t measure the distances between the pinecones, so it looks a little hap-hazard, but I’m quite pleased with it and I think that it gives a low-key, seasonal, festive feel to the livingroom!
