DIY Pine Cone Flower

3 Materials
A quick tutorial to make a DIY Pine Cone Flower. After bleaching a large batch of pine cones I starting getting creative with decorating with my new lighter pine cones.
Here's one of the results of decorating with bleached pine cones.
I made this one into a magnet for displaying in my craft room. I like displaying things on thrift store trays with magnets.
Here are the supplies I used.


A bleached pine cone. There's a post about bleaching pine cone on Hometalk and on my website.


Scissors or wire cutters. { I didn't use either, peeling the scales was easier}


A large magnet, button, or wood circle about 1 1/2 inches.


Hot glue and glue sticks


Object for the center {I used a button}
Peel or cut off 21 to 25 scales from the pine cone. Make piles of small medium and large scales. Start with the large and glue in a circle on the disk.
Next, add the medium scales in the center. I added the scales to overlap in the center. Like petals.
Then I added the small scales in a circle in the middle. Top the flower with a center object. I used a button with burlap thread tied through the button holes. Now I'm ready to hold my free fall printable!
