Instructions:
I did not paint my pine cone, but you can if you like!
I glued the tan pom-pom on the pointy end of the pine cone to be the squirrel's head. I glued on wiggle eyes and the tiny black pom-pom. You can add ears with a scrap piece of felt, a small length of pipe cleaner, tiny pom-poms, or even paper.
For the tail, I cut off 2 bumps from the chenile stem. I folded them in half and twisted the ends together. Glue the ends to the back of the pine cone, and bend the top of the tail down a bit.
Make hands and feet simply by cutting pieces of a tan pipe cleaner. For a finishing touch, my squirrel is holding an acorn made out of a tan bid and a bit of brown felt.
