Follow these instructions to make a simple gift or decoration using pine cones.

  • Age Guideline: 8 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 15 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

  • Small Pine Cones
  • Spray Paint (optional)
  • Christmas Tree Lights
  • Basket

Instructions:
Place them in a medium size basket. Lay a small string of Christmas tree lights in the basket, weaving them in and out of the cones.

Of course to get the true affect, the basket will have to be placed near an outlet, but the look is beautiful, especially during the holidays.
