[For Seniors] Recommended Pine Cone Crafts! Idea Collection (11–20)
Sheep made from a pine cone and natural materials

Sheep are adorable animals covered in fluffy white wool, aren’t they? Their charming, sweet expressions make them popular with everyone.
This time, let’s make a sheep using a pine cone.
Prepare an acorn, a sawtooth oak cap, and tendrils from porcelain berry.
Since everything is made from natural materials, it’s exciting to think how rich in character the finished piece will be.
All you do is glue the materials on, so it’s easy for seniors to try as well.
The pine cone represents the sheep’s wool, giving it an irresistibly simple, rustic appeal.
It would also make a delightful gift for someone special.

Let’s make a cute owl using a hot glue gun.
Use a pine cone as the base, cut the face and wing parts from felt, and simply glue them on—it’s easy.
Once the owl is finished, attach it to the base.
The cutest part of this idea is using a nut to make it look like the owl is wearing a little hat.
The eyes are basically made from felt, but if you use sticker eyes, the owl will have a slightly different look.
Felt doesn’t have to be only brown—using red, yellow, and other colors to make it colorful is adorable too.

Let’s try making an owl using pinecones, acorn caps, leaves, googly-eye stickers, felt, and construction paper.
Glue an acorn cap to the pinecone base with the inside of the cap facing forward.
Attach small googly-eye stickers inside the cap.
Cut feet and a beak from felt or construction paper and glue them to the base.
To evoke outstretched wings, attach leaves on both sides—and it’s done.
The owl’s look will change depending on the color and shape of the wings, so find leaves you like and give it a try.

Here’s a cute handmade owl idea that looks like it’s perched on a tree branch.
Stick googly eye stickers onto the flat bottom of a pine cone.
Cut out feet from felt (or similar), insert them into the pine cone, and glue on curled, narrow dried leaves as decorative feathers.
Then place the owl on a suitable small twig, and it’s done.
This idea looks even cuter if you make several owls using the same steps and line them up, rather than making just one.
Try finding some small pine cones and give it a go.
a pinecone owl wrapped with yarn
Here’s a handmade owl craft idea that also helps with finger dexterity.
Prepare a pine cone and wrap a long piece of yarn around it.
Secure it so it doesn’t come undone, then attach felt pieces for the eyes and beak, and you’re done.
Using a single color of yarn works, but combining several colors makes a cute, colorful owl.
You can also add a string to hang it as a Christmas ornament.
Try making your own unique owl!

Here’s an idea for an owl with impressively fluffy feathers.
Start by attaching googly eyes to a pine cone, which will serve as the owl’s body.
Glue on a triangular beak made from construction paper or felt.
Then, attach fluffy white plant material—like pampas grass—to resemble feathers.
Trim off any unnecessary stems and glue the pieces facing downward.
Make feet from small twigs and attach them.
Finally, fix the owl onto a perch with strings on both sides for hanging, and you’re done.

Snowy Owl ornament

Here’s an idea for a fluffy, cute owl decoration.
Cover the entire pine cone that serves as the owl’s base with small pieces of cotton.
Attach the cotton by tucking it between the scales of the cone.
Drizzle liquid glue over the top and sprinkle on sequins.
Make a base for the eyes out of cotton and glue it on, then place eye stickers on top.
Finally, add the beak to finish.
You’ll have a sparkling, very cute owl—perfect as a winter decoration.
