I thought it would be simple, stick pine cones in a circle using my glue gun then hang with ribbon...
It started well , I used a small wire wreath form as a guide so it was circular and then chose my cones.
Then I started gluing and realised that it was not easy to get them to stick together! So after 2.5 glue sticks I had a (not as circular as I would have liked) pine cone wreath! I reinforced it a bit with extra cones at the joins round the outside which worked pretty well.
Fingers crossed it doesn't come unstuck when it is packed up with all the Christmas decorations!!
Very pretty! I love pinecone wreaths. Thanks so much for sharing.
