Ribboned Pine Cone Ornament: 4 Beautiful DIY Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments

Step 1: Ribboned Pine Cone Ornament

Take one of the pine cones and insert a screw eye into the top.  Be careful with this step because you don’t want to damage the cone while you are holding it.

Step 2: Ribboned Pine Cone Ornament

Create a bow using 1 1/2″ burlap ribbon.  I created mine by simply cutting a piece of wired burlap ribbon and crossing the pieces creating an X.  I gathered the center and tied a knot with the twine which created the bow shape.

Step 3: Ribboned Pine Cone Ornament

Place the ribbon over the screw eye and glue using hot glue.  Insert another piece of twine through the knot you previously made to use as a hanger and you have finished your ribboned pine cone ornament.

 

Straw Winged Angel Ornament: 4 Beautiful DIY Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments

Step 1: Straw Winged Angel Ornament

Create the wings by taking four or five pieces of straw and folding the ends inward from the sides. Take another piece of straw and tie a knot in the center to create what looks like a bow.  This will be your wings.

Step 2: Straw Winged Angel Ornament

Place the wings on the back of your pine cone and hot glue them to the cone.

Step 3: Straw Winged Angel Ornament

Add a small wooden ball to the top of the pine cone to act as the head of the angel.  Hot glue the head to the pine cone. Use the Sharpie to paint on the eyes and use a pink pencil to add some color to the cheeks.

Step 4: Straw Winged Angel Ornament

Take the natural covered wire and make a small circle to act as a halo.  Hot glue it to the head.

Step 5: Straw Winged Angel Ornament

Add a piece of twine to the cone to act as a hanger and you have finished your straw winged angel ornament.

Burlap Winged Angel: 4 Beautiful DIY Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments

Step 1: Burlap Winged Angel Ornament

Make the wings by crisscrossing the 1 1/2″ burlap ribbon then tying a knot on the center using twine to create a bow that will act as the wings.

Step 2: Burlap Winged Angel Ornament

Attach the ribbon to the back of the cone with loops facing toward the bottom using hot glue.

Step 3: Burlap Winged Angel Ornament

Hot glue a wooden ball to the bottom of the cone.  Decorate the face using a black sharpie and a pink pencil.

Step 4: Burlap Winged Angel Ornament

Take a piece of gold pipe cleaner and wrap it in a circle to create the halo.  Hot glue the halo to the head of the angel.

Step 5: Burlap Winged Angel Ornament

Wrap another pipe cleaner around the back of the cone so that the ends face the front.  Wrap the pipe cleaner around the golf tee so that small end faces toward the head of the angel.  Clip off the excess pipe cleaner. Place a small amount of glue on the tip of the golf tee and glue it to the head of the angel.  The tee will act as the angel’s trumpet.

Step 6: Burlap Winged Angel Ornament

Wrap another pipe cleaner around the front of the cone and upward to act as the hanger for the ornament and you have completed your Burlap winged angel
