First Add Pinecones
I’ve had these giant pine cones for months! My daughter’s future sister-in-law used them in her wedding and my thoughtful, crafty daughter thought, ‘Mom would love these!’
She Was So Right
Two bags full…sounds like a song! I stored them away knowing that I would incorporate them into our home’s Christmas Decor.
Start With Rustic Country Living Fair Finds…
I love these small zinc cups! They have so much potential. I lined them on the rustic wooden bread tray…then added three large pinecones. They look like little trees.
Simple Steps to Decorate Zinc Cups with Large Pinecones
- weigh down zinc cups with pebbles or decorative stones – about an inch thick layer
- Cut Green Styrofoam rectangle into three cubes (Dollar Tree)
- Shave off sides of styrofoam with dull knife – size it to where it is just below the rim of the zinc cup
- press styrofoam into cup.
- make sure Pinecone is flat on the bottom by removing any part that points downward. Drill hole at center of Pinecone with small thin screwdriver.
- Insert green floral pick into hole in Pinecone – about 1 1/2 to 2 inches. Cut floral pick to be about an inch short of depth of styrofoam.
- Insert Pinecode with floral pick into styrofoam
Place Large Pinecones Around Your Home
