Small Christmas Trees Made From Pine Cones - How Cool Is That!



How cool is this idea! I mean I have a ton of pine cones laying around in the yard thanks a pine tree that enjoys leaving behind the cones. Some of the cones are rather large and would not really work for this type of project because they would be more large size compared to the ones in the video. However, I do have to admit I never would have thought about the pine cones as being transformed into small Christmas trees.

Something I am going to do is follow the advice this video provided, but I am also going to guarantee the paint is non-toxic. Doing that I can have my kids make the Christmas trees as well from pine cones and not have to be concerned about them getting sick. Something else I really like is the little decorations they have, the only problem I would think you can encounter here is the pine cones may be too tightly closed to put the decorations in. However, you can always use a little dab of glue to keep the decorations on.

I just cannot wait to see these little pine trees sitting on the fireplace this winter. The best part is I know these pine tree Christmas trees were made by my hands and those of my children.
