Pine Cone Wreath
Instructions to make a wreath using pine cones and a wire coat hanger. A fun gift idea or a great Christmas decoration.

Materials Needed:
  • 8 Pine Cones (approximate)
  • Wire Coat Hanger
  • Duct Tape
  • Items to decorate your wreath
  • Glue
Instructions:
Cut the wire coat hanger in half and form it into a circle. Wind the two ends together. I them secured the ends and covered the entire circle with duct tape. This held it together better and gave the pine cones a better surface to stick to!

Once you have your circle formed, glue on the pine comes (a hot glue gun worked best for me). Decorate as desired. I added a ribbon and holly made out of crafting Foam. A added red beads for the holly berries.

If you want a larger wreath, just do not cut the wire hanger in half! :-)
