I love the simple beauty of these little guys.
Here’s how I made mine:
I purchased some jute…
…and cut a piece long enough to attach to my pine cone, yet still fit around a tree branch. I glued the two ends to the top of the pine cone.
The pinecones i gathered from the outside, park trees.
Just be sure that it hangs nicely once it’s attached.
Then tie a bow out of some ribbon (mine is beige satin ribbon, 1.5 inches wide). You can use any color ribbon.
Then, I found that attaching the bow to the jute actually allows the bow to hang a little nicer. I started by attaching the bow to the top of the pine cone but that was making the ribbon ends looks wonky and not hang nicely.
Then, cut the ends of the ribbon at a diagonal, whatever length you like. My ribbon lengths varied, depending on the pine cone size, but the ribbon ends were generally as long as the pine cone.
Now, make several more……hang…….and enjoy! :)
