Today is all about the crafts my friends and I can’t wait to show you how easy it was to make this lovely Pinecone Christmas Tree.
I started with a simple cardboard cone form – I actually picked a few of them up last year at Hobby Lobby to make these Festive Cone Christmas Trees and had an extra kicking around, but you can find a similar one here).
With a pile of pinecones (I chose to add in a few “snow covered” ones) and my trusty hot glue gun in hand, I simply started attaching pinecone to cardboard. I worked my way up from the bottom, adding a very liberal amount of hot glue to each pinecone and then just holding it onto the cardboard cone until it was good and stuck.
I must admit it was a pretty slow process, with the entire 22″ tree taking me almost an hour to cover, but I’m so in love with this little tree that it was all totally worth it!
Now my friends, it’s time to check out the amazing collection of holiday inspiration! And be sure to check back every day this week to enjoy all the goodies we’ll be sharing with you! Each day’s links will be posted that day and will go live at 7am EST/6am CST, so don’t miss a single day!

I love your natural mantel and the pine cone Christmas tree is the perfect touch! It has been fun touring with you this week! Merry Christmas!
Awwww, thank you Lindsay! Merry Christmas!
Kristi – we had no idea that this is how pinecone trees are created. Your tree is adorably cute and rustic. Love how you paired the pinecone tree with other natural elements on your mantel. Thanks for the tutorial because now we can make some for ourselves. So happy to share tour week with you…Merry Christmas!
Thank you so, so much for your sweet comment! It was SO easy to make that I’m just itching to make a matching wreath now! Thanks again!!!
Been wondering what to do with all the pinecones in my yard right now! Love this!
Oh good! I’m so happy you’re feeling inspired Lisa! Feel free to send a few my way as ours are all buried by snow now 😉
I LOVE your pinecone tree!! I used a pinecone tree in my decor this year, but it was a gift from a friend. After seeing yours, I want to build a forest of pinecone trees!
Thank you so much for being a part of the HFTH tour this year! Merry Christmas!
Awwww, thank you SO much Sondra! I’m so happy you’re feeling inspired! And SUCH a HUGE thanks for inviting me to join in the fun! It’s been such a great way to connect with new bloggy friends and readers!
Love this idea! I think I need to make a few 🙂
Thank you so, so much Bre! xo
I always have to add in at least a few natural elements into my seasonal styling or it just doesn’t feel like the holidays. And this is such a great way to incorporate them! I have a feeling you’ll use this one for many more seasons. Happy holidays, Kristi!
Thank you SO, SO much Sarah! I couldn’t agree more – I love, love, love using natural elements in my decor all year round and this is such a fun way to step things up for the holidays! Thanks again!!!
Hi Kristi, I have been collecting pine cones from our yard for months to make some of these pine cone trees, but my pine cones are much larger. I’m not sure how these would look made with the large ones, but I think I’m going to give it a try. And thanks for telling me about the cardboard cones. Since I have only seen the Styrofoam ones, I will be on the lookout for some. Pinning and sharing!
SO smart Jane! All this snow on the ground around here has been making me wish I had collected a few more too! I would definitely give it a try, I think you could make the bigger ones overlap a bit more to add a bit more shape to it all too! Thanks so much!
I love collecting pinecones, so this would be a great craft for me!
Oh, we do too Maryann! My son and I often wander the neighbourhood with his little wagon full of pinecones (and rock collections because apparently you can never have too many of those!). Thank you so much!
I love decorating with pinecones. The tree turned out perfect and I love the size of it. Your whole mantel looks gorgeous. I love how relaxing and welcoming it feels.
Thank you so much Leanne! You are much too sweet! I’m so happy you love it all!!! Wishing you a wonderful day!
What a neat idea! Love how it turned out. And it goes perfectly on your mantle. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you SO, SO much Meredith! I’m so happy you love it!
i love your pinecone tree. I made a few pinecone wreaths about 15 years ago that I absolutely love happy holidays!
Thank you SO much Laura! After making and falling in love with this tree, I’ve got wreaths on my list to make now too! Happy Holidays!
I love the rustic beauty of this pine cone tree! It is so simple and elegant and looks gorgeous on your mantel! I used all my pine cones as vase fillers this season, so it looks like I’m going to have to convince my husband to go on another foraging expedition with me. 😉
Thank you SO much Celeste! How lucky that you can still grab a few more pinecones … ours are all buried in snow now. Happy foraging and thanks again!
Kristi this is absolutely beautiful . The fact that it is so big must make it veryregal, majestic… I don’t know what the right word is for it. Ahh…commanding, because it is really unique!
Awwwww, you are just the sweetest! Thank you SO, SO much! It definitely draws some attention 😉
This is so cute! What a good idea! I just pinned it!
Thank you SO, SO much Shari! I’m so happy you love it! Happy holidays!
I love the tree. Time to go gather some pine cones!
Oh good! I’m so happy you’re feeling inspired! Thank you SO much Virginia!
I love your tree! I had planned on making some this year and completely forgot about it until I saw your pin! I need some now! Stopping by to let you know you are being featured on Friday’s P3 Party post! Have a great holiday! Thanks for pinning!
Best,
Kim
Awwwww, well thank you Kim! I’m so happy you’re feeling inspired (again) and thank you so very much for sharing! Happy holidays!
Love that pine cone tree! What a great idea.
Thank you so, so much!
