Hi Sugarplum!

{Fall DIY} Pine Cone Garland

September 20, 2012

While I admit we get a little carried away decorating for Halloween and Christmas, the changes for Fall are small ones. The shells and coral are put away, in favor of rustic elements and cozy throws. One of the small touches I was eager to add, was a pine cone garland I saw on Twig & Thistle several years ago.

The only supplies you need are pine cones (those scented ones would be yummy), small cup hooks and ribbon.

First cut your ribbon in the desired length, taking into account the amount needed to adhere it to your surface. After laying the pine cones out in your preferred spacing, make a small mark on the ribbon where each will hang. Then screw a cup hook into the bottom of each pine cone. It will be resistant at first, but you can do it, put your back in to it! (Name that song.) The ones with flat bottoms are easier, and first hammering a small hole with a nail helps, too.

Punch a small hole at your marking on the ribbon, and hang the hook from it.

Boosh! A little touch of Fall. My garland is hanging out on my mantel-in-the-making. (Update: A savvy reader suggested making one using my Snowy Pine Cones this Christmas!)

    This is such a cute idea! I also love that this look can transition from fall to Christmas… a little glitter on the tips of those pine cones and it's all wintery looking! Thanks so much for sharing!

    So simple, yet adds so much fall warmth to a home. I might also try it out by switching the pine cones with Chrismas ornaments when Christmas approaches!

    Super cute and easy! I've been wanting to do this over our mantel but was trying to hold out for the pinecones that fall in our backyard. 🙂 I love the idea of the scented ones so I may be splurging a little on this one. Thanks for sharing!!
