Pinecone Craft: Mini Pinecone Tree Pots

You can make these in 15 minutes! Yes, it's true! (Click on blog link below for details.) I've wanted to make something with the small pinecones I find in our backyard. Inspiration struck when I saw a photo online at Better Homes & Gardens...

    Using small pinecones found in our backyard, I made these sweet little holiday decorations!

    The colors for our Christmas decor start outside and carry into our home: red, chartreuse, aqua, and gold. I painted the pots to match.

    Paint the tiny pots, add course glitter paint, place pinecones in the pots. Easy!

    As an added touch...you can put prewrapped christmas mints between the pinecone leaves(or whatever you call them!) and give them out as little xmas gifts at the office. I used to take large pinecones and put the candies in them and then wrap them with ribbon with a bowon top...people like to set them on their desks for the holiday season...

    Diana Culver - that is a fantastic idea to use these as the gift "box" for a little present - a gift within a gift! Thanks for the idea! Thanks also, Lou!

    Adorable! Wouldn't this be a great project for a bunch of kids! Have an arts and crafts birthday party for Oct/Nov/Dec birthdays. Paint the pots in advance then all you would need is glue and glitter. I use Elmer's all purpose glue and add a drop of water to make it spread easier.

    That sounds like a great idea for a kids party, Jeanette S! (I like your tip about the Elmer's glue to spread easier too.)

    What a nice favor these would make if you were having a holiday dinner party or just a hostess gift. Great idea.

    Thanks for all the kind words everyone! Lyndi F I used Martha Stewart Course Glitter Paint that can be found at Michaels stores (craft store) and online via Plaid Crafts. CeeJai J one of my best friends used to live near Savannah, Georgia and I LOVED the longer pine cones I'd see down there! I bet they will turn out great!
