A Holiday Pine Cone Door Swag Christmas Craft
Easy to make pine cone swag craft for a Christmas decoration.
Yield: 1 swag
Cost: $10
Materials
- Six large pine cones - I bought a bag of the cinnamon-scented pine cones that you see in every grocery store around the holidays
- White Spray Paint or Snow Paint
- Twisted Cord - I bought 1&1/2 yards of the cord at JoAnn Fabric Store
- Scotch tapeTwisty tie
- A pretty bow
- Optional - Adhesive spray and snow glitter
Instructions
- Begin by protecting your work surface.
- Lightly spray paint the outside of the pine cones to give them the appearance of being snow-covered.
- Set the pine cones into a tier formation - I placed three at the top, two in the middle, and finally, one at the bottom
- Section off your cord (one long piece for the bottom cone, two medium-length pieces for the middle cones, and three short pieces for the top cones)
- Wrap scotch tape around the section you plan on cutting - this is important - the tape keeps the cording from unraveling.
- Cut the cord in the center of the scotch tape
- Hot glue one end of each cord to the designated pine cones
- Gather the cords at the top and secure them with your twist tie - Add glue to secure them further
- Add your pretty bow to the top of the cords, and twist the ties from the bow around your cords
- Tuck the extra ends of the cording over the twist in the bow and glue
- You can use the extra length from the ribbon twist ties to form a circle to hang the swag, or slip a ribbon through the bent cords and tie to make a place to hang the swag from
- If you want to add some sparkle, spray the adhesive spray onto the pine cones and sprinkle snow glitter
- Hang from the wreath hanger
