You need to wash cones collected from a local park or your yard, and get rid of small insects. Versatile and beautiful pine, spruce, and cedar buds are traditional eco-friendly materials for fall and winter crafts, but cones can make perfect eco-friendly seasonal decorations on their own. For example, a live Christmas tree with cones is a season-ready decorative element, but crafters can make a miniature Christmas tree from cones alone.

Clusters of pine cones with candles, dried citrus slices, and eucalyptus leaves create fabulous table decorations and centerpieces for seasonal displays. Pine cones can add magic to fireplace decorating. Arranging pine cones in glass cloches or bowls with fairy lights brings a cozy glow to mantels. Pine cone wall art created by gluing pine cones to a canvas in geometric or floral patterns is an excellent idea for dwellings with a Boho-style or mid-century modern vibe.

Outdoor decor

Christmas and fall wreaths with seasonal accents, succulents, or dried grasses create beautiful yard decorations. Garlands with strings of pine cones with ribbons make elegant and eco-friendly garden decorations for fences, pergolas, or outdoor seating areas with fireplaces. Pine cones add texture and seasonal flair to all creative crafts, enhancing the spirit of fall and winter holidays for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

Creative artsy twists

Painting cones in matte white, gold, or dark colors creates a modern look and helps to craft holiday-themed decorations. Bleached pine cones delight with a weathered finish, great for farmhouse or Scandinavian-style home decorations. Scented pine cone decorations are a fantastic way to enjoy the aromas of essential oils. Cedarwood or cinnamon brings seasonal feels and works as a natural air freshener.
