I've seen many beautiful pine cone wreaths for purchase in the $40-$50 range.
I wanted one, but for a little a LOT cheaper. Over the last few months I've been collecting pine cones with help from the ladybug and the little guy.
other materials needed:
styrofoam wreath
glue gun
brown paint
glue gun
brown paint
I painted the styrofoam brown (just in case there were any spaces showing between the pine cones). After it dried I just started randomly gluing the pine cones on. I tried to get them as close together as possible.
Easy as pie. I used a 40% off coupon from Michaels for the styrofoam wreath.
Total cost for my wreath: $6. I like my price tag much better!
