Cute little doll made of a pine cone

I tried making a cute little doll out of a pine cone.
Cute little doll made of a pine cone

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.

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!

Make it with origami! Pinecone wreath

It’s an idea for a wreath made not with real pinecones, but with pinecones crafted from origami.

First, crumple the origami paper once to add wrinkles and texture.

Then cut it in half, glue the pieces so they form a wide rectangle, and fold it in half so the top and bottom edges overlap.

Make fine slits along the looped edge, then roll it up tightly to complete the pinecone.

Make the leaves and red berries from origami as well.

Finally, attach the leaves to a wreath base made from thick cardstock, and decorate it with the pinecones and red berries to finish.

Here are some stylish advent calendar ideas you can make using patterned paper and black construction paper.

Fold the patterned paper into a small bag, add the contents, then close it by forming a 3D triangle.

Cut the black construction paper into tag shapes, stamp the dates with gold ink, then punch holes in both the triangular patterned paper and the tags and thread them together with string.

You can display the finished pieces in a basket, or hang them as ornaments on your Christmas tree—they’ll look adorable either way.

Semi-transparent and metallic patterned papers are especially recommended!

A three-dimensional ornament inspired by the shape of a star.

You can place a candle light in the open space in the center and use it as a candle holder as well.

As you fold the origami—cutting with scissors partway—you shape it into a form where triangles overlap, then add finer creases, unfold it, and refine it into a star.

The final unfolding step is crucial: while creating a flat surface so it can stand, shape it into a beautiful star.

Because the light’s base is clearly visible through the gaps, it’s also a good idea to choose origami paper that complements it.

Let’s make a hanging type of tree that’s easy to put up and simple to decorate.

Prepare a large circular piece of cardboard and draw four circles inside it at equal intervals.

Use a craft knife to cut out the circles, and you’ll have five ring-shaped pieces.

Connect them with string in order from the smallest circle to the largest to form a tree shape.

Stick cute tape along the cardboard edges and decorate each ring with green pipe cleaners and ornaments.

Finally, add a star at the top, and it’s complete.

Twig ornament

Here’s a natural ornament you can make with small twigs.

First, cut the jute base into a triangle and attach a string to the back.

Then stick a square piece of birch bark underneath.

Glue twigs cut to suitable lengths from the bottom of the base upward to create the shape of a tree.

Attach a topper ornament, decorate the twigs with red berries, and you’re done.

Using twigs in different colors looks cute.

You can buy ready-made twigs, or intentionally use mismatched ones you pick up on a walk.
