Snowy Pine Cone Garland for Christmas : DIY Tutorial

We love using the things we find in nature to decorate our home for the holidays.

There is a pine tree in our neighborhood that drops the sweetest mini pine cones. We took our basket on a walk yesterday and collected a few to make a snowy pine cone garland for our mantle.

  1. I absolutely ADORE this idea!!! All the kids seem to do these days is collect all sorts of things, acorns and pinecones among their favorites! I never know what to do with all these little goodies but this is now a wonderful way to get them to use something they’ve happily collected willingly and feel like they’ve contributed to decorating the house. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea, I can’t wait to give it a try <3

    1. Hi Sara, Same in our home… we end up with baskets and baskets of foraged goodies. I love finding beautiful ways to display them in our home :)
      Would love to see yours when you are done.
