Pinecone Crafts: 17 of the Prettiest Projects Ever

17 Beautiful Pinecone Crafts

When you live in the piney woods of East Texas, like we do, you have a ready supply of pinecones for craft projects, especially this time of year. We have lots and lots of pinecones at our house, but you’ll rarely see any lying in our yard.

That’s because we also have an army of kids and grandkids who collect them every chance they get.

Picking up Pinecones

My husband pays them a bounty for each cone, because he thinks the yard would look cluttered otherwise. He views those big piles of pinecones as trash, but I think of them as free craft supplies.

Pinterest abounds with brilliant & beautiful ideas for creating beautiful pinecone craft projects. Here are 17 of my favorite:

  1. Christmas Ornaments

    Aren’t these little pinecone elves simply adorable? You can find directions for making them on LiaGriffith.com.

  2. Photo Frames

    These pinecone embellished picture frames from Martha Stewart look great in a wall arrangement. But smaller versions could also serve as tree ornaments — and very sentimental ones, at that.

    pretty natural picture frames

  3. Votive Candle Holders

    I love these charming little tea lights made from pine cones. They’d make a pretty, low centerpiece that wouldn’t obstruct anybody’s view when you’re trying to talk to folks across the table.

  4. Embellished Mason Jars

    If you’re worried about putting live candles directly inside dry cones, try glass instead. I love the rustic look of these mason jar candles. You’ll find directions for making these winter luminaries at Crafts by Amanda.

  5. Fire Starters

    These pretty little pinecone fire starters from Something Turquoise would make a lovely party favor or hostess gift, don’t you think? If you add scent to the wax, they’ll smell nice, too.

  6. Window Toppers

    How about stringing pinecones and greenery from the casing to dress up your windows? Pinecones make it easy to “deck the halls.”

  7. Chandelier Decor

    There’s no reason windows should have all the fun. These simple pinecone streamers look terrific hanging from a chandelier, too.

  8. Festive Basket

    Pinecones form the foundation for the warm and welcoming arrangement in this inviting porch setting. Doesn’t that make you want to just pull up a chair and enjoy the view?

  9. Welcome Wreath

    I love the simplicity of this ribbon festooned pinecone wreath hanging on the front door. Smaller versions would look great indoors, hanging in a window or on a wardrobe, as well.

  10. Monogram Initial

    If you’re especially crafty — and if your last name begins with a fairly symmetrical letter — you might try your hand at making a monogram wreath for your door. Isn’t this one pretty?

  11. Beautiful Bows

    Who wouldn’t love to find a package like this one tucked beneath the tree? Pinecones can make for some inexpensive but beautiful gift wrapping supplies.

  12. Boutonnieres

    Aren’t these pinecone boutonnieres adorable? What a great idea for a winter wedding!

  13. Place Markers

    Entertaining? Print a batch of these mini-pinecones placeholders to use for Thanksgiving dinner or Christmas parties. You’ll make everyone at the table feel blessed to be there.

  14. Miniature Trees

    With a little glitter and garland, you can turn your pinecones into miniature Christmas trees. The natural color looks great, but I’ve also seen some really cute ones painted green and decorated with tiny pom-pom balls.

  15. Springtime Blossoms

    Don’t put your paint away yet! Here’s a smart idea for enjoying brightly colored zinnias, even when the climate’s too cold to grow them.

  16. Pinecone Mulch

    If you prefer real live zinnias to painted ones, pinecones can help you there, too. Look how pretty these flowerbeds look with their pinecone mulch. Added bonus — you’ll have a ready supply of cones for your crafting needs, all summer long!

  17. Heavenly Scents

    These scented pinecones will make your whole house smell amazing. You’ll find instructions for making them at Suzy’s Artsy-Craftsy Sitcom.

    scented treats for your house

If you’d like to have that wonderful autumn smell in your house but don’t have time for crafting with pinecones, there is a simpler way. Check out Mrs. Meyer’s new fall scents at Grove Collective:

Animal Farm. If you look closely enough, you can s Animal Farm. If you look closely enough, you can see Old Major in the barn addressing Boxer, Clover, Benjamin, Muriel, Jessie, Bluebell, Snowball, Squealer, Napoleon, and all the others. Abby arranged this scene  herself — proof that she was paying close attention when I read George Orwell’s classic aloud to my kids last week.  It has been more than 75 years since Orwell first penned this political fable, yet it remains as relevant today as ever. Wish our elected officials who seem so inexplicably enamored with Socialism would take time to read and ponder its message.  #fourlegsgood #twolegsbetter #flandersfamilyreads

I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to I’m a list-maker by nature, and I’ve tried to teach my kids the value of making lists, as well.  For instance, sometimes when they’ve continued to squabble or butt heads even after I’ve called them down, I’ll send them to opposite corners of the house with a list-making assignment:  ✅ “Describe 3 better ways you could’ve responded in that situation than the one you chose.”  ✅ “Write down 5 things you love and appreciate about your sister. “  ✅ “List 10 ways you could show kindness to your brother. “  With that last one, I’d follow up by telling them to choose a different idea off their list every day for the next 10 days and do it.  Gradually, over time, those kind, loving deeds became their default behavior. And as a bonus, the kids not only learned to be kind to one another, but showed similar courtesies to friends, other family members, and strangers, alike.  Want to be more loving to the people God has placed in your life? Brainstorm ways to show kindness to them. Because love is kind.  #happyvalentinesday #bekind

What does patient love look like? It takes time to What does patient love look like? It takes time to listen. It doesn’t tap its toes, drum its  fingers, check its watch, or roll its eyes.  It doesn’t act irritated or annoyed when the object of its love needs time or attention. Patient love is selfless and long suffering — just as God is with us.  As Christians, this is the kind of love God calls us to demonstrate to our spouse, our children, our neighbors, and even our enemies — a constant, unruffled love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. A love that would be quite impossible apart from the endless grace and indwelling power of God.  #goals #radicallove

Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 1 Jesus bids us, “ Continue in my love.” (John 15:9) And what exactly does Christ’s kind of love look like?  He sums it up for us in Luke 6:27-28: “Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who despitefully use you.”  The good news is, we don’t have to look far for an opportunity to put this command into practice. Nor must we do any of this in our own strength.  God’s empowering grace enables us to forgive offenders, to extend kindness in response to rudeness, to show mercy to the unmerciful, and to point  unbelievers to a Savor who sees them, knows them, and loves them enough to die for them.  #jesuslovesme #thisiknow #forthebibletellsmeso
