Pinecone Wreath

Making a pinecone wreath with this method is easy, but does require a little bit of strength as you work your way through.

Here is your list of supplies.

1. Lots of pinecones

2. wire wreath form

3. Five gallon bucket, filled half full of water

4. Wire for hanging (a heavy gage, preferably)

You will want to put plastic on the floor and table for this project. It is a messy one.

YUP. Thats it.

Lets get started. First, put a bunch of pinecones into the bucket of water. This will close them up.

Now, tie a piece of wire onto your frame for hanging. A strong gage wire works best. This will be quite heavy when finnished.

Starting on the inside of the ring, push a wet pinecone between the wires. Keep adding, all the while keeping them tight together. When you get to the end of a section, push the pinecones together as tight as possible and add another one or two. Whatever it takes to make them as tight as you possibly can make them.

Repeat this process on the outside of the ring, and then the center.

When finnished, let your wreath dry. This could take up to two weeks, depending on where you are keeping it to dry. As it dries, the pinecones open, thus keeping them in place for years to come.

You can spray your wreath with a sealer if you choose. Add glitter, berries, or just call it finnished. Just a note: I have never sealed my wreaths, and yet they have lasted for years, outdoors and in.
