How about decorating your Christmas tree with pine cone ornaments? This simple idea involves decorating pine cones with decorative balls and beads, then attaching a looped ribbon to the base—perfect for a parent–child craft time.

You can keep the pine cones’ natural color or paint them with acrylics.

Changing the decorative parts will also change the look, letting you create a variety of lovely ornaments.

Glue a larger wood bead, which will be the doll’s head, to the bottom of a pine cone.

Insert wire wrapped with jute twine into the pine cone to create arms and legs, then wrap a scarf knitted from yarn around the neck and put on a hat made from jute.

Draw the face with a pen and glue the figure to a base.

Give the doll a dried flower to hold, and it’s complete.

Since jute has a natural color, adding a brightly colored pom-pom to the tip of the hat will make the doll look more festive.

The doll’s impression will also change depending on the expression you draw and how you have it hold the flower.

When it comes to Christmas crafts with pine cones, trees are the classic choice, but you can make many other creations too.

This time, I’ll show you how to make animals.

Place a large pine cone, which will be the body, on a clay base, then use clay and glue to attach a smaller pine cone on top for the head.

Once it’s dry, use felt, clay, beads, and similar materials to create the animal’s face and ears.

Decorate the body with pom-poms.

Instructions for making a tree and Santa Claus are also included, so give them a try if you like.

Here are some DIY Christmas decoration ideas using pine cones and acorns you can pick up on a walk.

Be sure to sterilize the pine cones and acorns in boiling water before using them.

Paint the pine cones in any colors you like, decorate them with beads, pom-poms, pipe cleaners, and ribbon flowers, then glue them onto a coaster to serve as the base.

Next, color the acorns with markers to make Santa and a reindeer.

For the reindeer’s antlers, cut them out of origami paper with scissors.

Glue Santa and the reindeer onto the base, fill any gaps with cotton, and you’re done!

A rabbit plush made from fleece

[100-Yen Handmade] Easy Palm-Sized Bunny Plushie Made from Fleece

Using fleece fabric that looks and feels soft, let’s make a palm-sized stuffed bunny.

The key is how you construct the body: cut the fabric into the shape you want, embroider the facial expression, sew the pieces together, then stuff them with cotton and shape as you go.

The way you stuff it will change the overall roundness and softness, so it’s a good idea to focus on this to create your own unique bunny.

After that, attach parts like the hands, feet, and ears, and finish it so it looks like a bunny, and you’re done.

It can also be fun to change the fabric color and the shapes of the parts to add originality.

If you’re looking for a gift for a three-year-old girl who’s starting to love sparkly, dreamy-cute things, how about a personalized name keychain? If you make it extra adorable, she’s sure to be delighted! You could craft the keychain itself with UV resin in star or heart shapes.

After sticking on a name label, pour resin over it to coat—this gives it a candy-like look that’s super cute! Adding accents like ribbons or charms would make it even more charming, don’t you think?
