Animals of Pine Cones

Handmade craft: animals made from pine cones

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.

Let’s try making a pinecone tree!

Christmas is just around the corner! Let’s try making a pinecone tree.

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!

Stylish and cute advent calendar

[100-Yen DIY] Make a stylish and cute advent calendar with Seria origami

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!

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.

candle ornament

Super authentic! Handmade candle ornament – How to make a Christmas Candle Ornament

Let’s handcraft authentic candle ornaments using natural materials.

First, melt beeswax in a double boiler and add a few drops of essential oil.

Cut off just the bottom of a paper cup, then quickly pour in the wax before it hardens.

Be careful not to make too many at once, as the wax will solidify.

Arrange dried fruits or leaves on the poured wax, and use a straw to make a hole for the string.

Once fully hardened, remove the paper cup, thread the string through, and it’s done.
