Painted Tip Pine Cone Wreath

Adding color to the tips of pine cones—here we used fall colors but choose any color combo you like—makes this simple wreath really sparkle. Wrap a 16-inch wreath form with burlap ribbon and loop a piece around the wreath form for hanging. Paint the tips of 40 pine cones in fall colors such as orange, yellow, and beige with acrylic paint. Brush the tips of 10 pine cones with matte Mod Podge and sprinkle with gold and copper glitter. Once dry, wrap an 18-inch length of floral wire around the base of each pine cone and twist tie around the wreath form to secure, layering and overlapping them as you go.

Pinecone Ornaments

Hang these lighter, brighter standbys from your chandelier with colorful velvet ribbon.

Step 1: Mix two parts bleach with one part water in a bucket. Submerge pinecones in solution for 24 hours. (Tip: Place a plate or another heavy object on top to keep them under water.) Rinse them in water and set outside to dry until they open up again. (This could take up to a week, depending on the weather.)

Step 2: Cut 1 yard of velvet ribbon into a ¾-yard piece and a ¼-yard piece.

Step 3: Adhere end of longer ribbon to the pinecone base with hot glue. Tie the shorter ribbon into a bow; adhere to the base of the pinecone, as shown.

Step 4: Tie pinecones to chandelier arms. Trim excess ribbon.
