Making Pinecone Jewelry
October 07, 2010
This is my favorite kind of craft. Using something from nature in a whole new way. I am blessed to have at lest 6 different types of pine cones on my property. But I love these little fir cones. I thought for fall it would be fun to make jewelry. This was sooo easy just cones, glue and either a ring base or for a necklace I found a big button worked great. I just took some embroidery floss and string it through a hole and glued on the cones. The hardest part was holding the cones for 5 minutes or so, until the glue firmed up. This would be a wonderful project for children and great Christmas gift for them to make!!!
PS. Auberne` made the cutest toadstool ring from fimo!!
This is gorgeous! I adore pine cones and have some small ones that look like this. Thanks for the idea.

Dear Clarice,
What great ideas! How do you ever come up with them all? :)
I hope this fall finds your family snug and warm.
Love,

These look so very pretty around the neck.
The toadstool ring is so cute, and I spied the most darling hoot owls behind it. Do you have directions on making those too?

I wish I had some of those little pinecones! Those are what I really wanted for the wreath I recently made but there's only one kind around here.
I love how creative y'all are! The toadstool ring and your pinecone necklace are just so cute!

How charming! I love the necklace. Years ago Mother gave me a gilded fern leaf. I still have it and wear it!

So creative! What fun you are having. I love how nicely objects from nature during this season create such nice things for creating other things!
