Pinecones are perfect for decorating for the fall and winter, and they are all-natural and you can compose sustainable decor of them. I love using pinecones for winter and Christmas decor, and the first thing I usually make is garlands that are amazing for decorating mantels, console tables and just credenzas. Wanna make some, too? Here are the coolest pinecone garlands that can be easily repeated without special instructions but first
How To Prepare Pinecones For Crafting?
It’s better to prep the pinecones for making decor of them before you start, and this can be done two ways: freezing or baking them. Both of them work, though I usually prefer baking. After you bake them and let them cool, it will be much easier to paint pinecones, and you will be sure you won’t find bugs from pinecones crawling in your home. Then, if you are planning to make a garland, you will have to hang your pinecones somehow, and you can insert some wire or pins with loops on the ends inside the pinecones. This may require some effort but your pinecones will be hung very securely this way. If you are going for a non-natural look, bleach, paint or wax dip your pinecones before inserting the pins.

How To Make A Pinecone Garland?
The easiest idea is to take a piece of twine or yarn and hang your pinecones on it randomly or making knots to secure each pinecone on its place, such a craft can be realized in a couple of minutes. You may add your pinecones to an existing evergreen garland just attaching them with wire to it. If you want more glam, choose a velvet or embroidered ribbon to hang your pinecones, if you feel like going all-natural pair pinecones with nuts, acorns, wooden beads and slices of fruit or cinnamon, the latter two will also provide a lovely natural scent in the space. What else can be used with pinecones to form a cool holiday decoration? Jingle bells, baubles, lights, wooden ornaments, leaves, acorns, nuts, twigs, cranberries – literally anything that is associated with Christmas.
