Pinecone framed artwork

I finally get to use my pinecones I’ve been saving since March!

For this project I used the mini pinecones, not the jumbo ones, but don’t worry! I’ve got some jumbo pinecone crafts in the works! Yippie!

First, I found a frame in my stash of extra stuff I’m not using.

I love that this one is square.

Next I grabbed all my mini pinecones.

I patiently sat there and hot glued each pinecone directly onto the glass of the frame.

It was actually really easy and took me about 10 or 15 minutes.

I love that you can see through the frame.

And here’s the back of the frame. You can see all the hot glue!

When I was done I hung it up on the wall…

And then I stared at it for like a month.

There was just *something* about this artwork that I didn’t like.

Then it finally hit me. It’s too plain and boring. So I added an ornament from the Dollar Store.

I already like it about 1000 times better.

But I still wanted more color, so I added this ornament from Target (it was in a 4 pack for $1).

And now I’m happy.

Have you made any pinecone crafts this year? Tell me about it in my comments section!
