Our house went on the market last Thursday and in an attempt to de-clutter I have been clearing out cupboards - fun fun fun! I came across a large bag of pine cones I collected last year to make a wreath with but never got round to making it so, using any excuse not to have to tidy any more, I thought I would make it.
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!!
