These little ornaments are simple and fun. Anyone can make them!
These are super easy! And they look amazing!
Here’s what you’ll need:
These pom poms are really small. I got them from the dollar store and they were the perfect size to fit in the pinecones.
Start by adding a small glob of hot glue to the underside of the pinecone “branches”.
Repeat for all the the pinecone tips. The little pom poms look just like ornaments hanging from a tree!
Then take about 11″ of string or ribbon and hot glue it to the top of the pinecone. We used this gold chain looking ribbon from the dollar store. I was pretty generous with the hot glue and they feel pretty secure.
Maybe I’m a risky mom here, but I let both my three year old and five year old use the glue gun. They were sooooo excited and they actually did really well with it! It’s just one of those cheap, tiny glue guns, so it doesn’t get very hot.
I had to peel away a lot of glue strands when they were finished, but they cleaned up really well. And now my girls are going to be so excited to hang them on the tree!
It’s still way too early to put up the Christmas tree, so I had to improvise a little bit for the photos. Yup, that’s the kids swing set in the background of this next photo!
And I never realized it, but we don’t have any evergreen trees on our property. So this next photo uses a branch that hangs over our fence by about 18″. Of course our neighbour walked out into the backyard at exactly the same time I was shooting these photos. She probably thinks I’m a bird watcher now. But on the bright side, the branch gives a nice preview of what these ornaments will look like on the Christmas tree.
They’re really simple, but I love how they look natural and quirky at the same time!
These pom poms and pinecones Christmas ornaments are so easy! They’re a great craft for both kids and adults and they end looking surprisingly beautiful! You can make them multi-coloured like ours, or you can try using single coloured pom poms to give a more uniform look. They’re a great little ornament that will last for years!
