The natural beauty of pine cones often escapes those who see an abundance of them at the change of season. However, like most of natures produce, they have a rustic appeal that few man made products can equal. Pine cones can be used to decorate the house just as they are, or they can be converted into many different kinds of useful or decorative thingamajigs.
One of the simplest ways of using them to beautify an area of the home is to combine a few branches of pine cones, with branches of winterberry, and set them atop a mantel or a window frame. Before we start with some easy pine cone decorations, you should collect pine cones of different sizes, shapes, and textures, for there is a wide variety around, and each can be used for a different purpose. Here are some ways of how to make pine cone decorations. Read on arts and crafts.Pine cones make fantastic Christmas ornaments. One can string them onto the branches of the tree just the way they are. If you find this look too rustic, you can add richness to them by painting or spray painting them in gold and/or silver metallic paint. Those who like the extra shimmer can throw on some glitter before the paint dries. Another option, for truly royal looking pine cones is to gild them with Dutch metal.
Another way of how to make pine cone crafts to hang from the tree or elsewhere, is by first making a small hole at the top and bottom of each pine cone. You can either use regular or spray painted cones. Place silver gray beads on eye pins, and stick them in the holes you've made. Use a little glue to hold them secure. Use sheer ribbon to suspend these decorations from the branches of your Christmas tree or elsewhere.
Pine Cone Flowers
Some people may feel more comfortable using the cones after treating them. Now take a saw, and cut the stalk in a way to get one or two good flowers from a medium sized cone, apart from the top. Now spray on a light application of a lacquer or acrylic spray, to coat the cut area, and brush on some glitter on the ends. Use these flowers along with silk pine spray to create a very pretty Christmas centerpiece.
Another way to make a table centerpiece with pine cones is to take a beautiful array of bloomed deep red roses, and set them in a round arrangement. Use a semi circular floral oasis, and arrange rose stems and greens on its, with pine cones added in between. Alternately, make the arrangement around a glass candle holder. Use a dough nut shaped oasis, with the candle holder in the center, to make the flower arrangement with pine cones. Read more about pine cone crafts for kids.
Another of my favorite pine cone decorations, because of their simplicity, are tiny pine cone trees. What I marvel at, is the simplicity of this Christmas decoration. Just place small pine cones in silver bowls or candlesticks, and top each with a glittering star. Place a small shot glass candle nest to it, on the table. Another idea is to spray the pine cones silver the way we did in the first decoration, and then string it along with some berries and a bell. Tie a beautiful silver/gold ribbon bow and hang it on the front door or anywhere else. Read on Christmas crafts.
Frankly speaking, Christmas candles are no different from any other decorative candle that you might find in the shops all through the year. But the very fact that they are lit up during Christmastime gives them the festive look. Christmas candles are big in size and designed in several shapes. You will find the common cylindrical shapes – Christmas candles tend to play up on the thickness so that they can burn longer, all through the Christmas Eve if desired. Traditional colors of Christmas candles are preferably red or golden, the colors of the season. But you will find all colors on the shelves nowadays. However, if other colors are used, they are often decorated with obvious Christmas motifs to make them part of the season. Red and golden candles are usually kept as they are, sans decoration, because the colors themselves lend grace to the season. How are Christmas Candles decorated?
There are infinite ways of decorating Christmas candles, but then there are some traditional patterns that you should know of. Christmas candles are usually decorated with a lot of holly. Real or fake holly might be pinned on to the candle. Cardboard cutouts of the common Christmassy emblems such as candy sticks, Christmas wreaths, small Santa Clauses, Christmas stockings are all found on candles.More imaginative decoration for the Christmas candles can incorporate golden ribbons or even lacework. Tiny shimmering objects could be pinned to the candles in the shapes of balls, stars or even fake gift boxes. Some people also cut out portions of their last year's Christmas cards and pin them onto the candles to make them look more meaningful for the season.Where are Christmas Candles placed?Again, there are several possibilities here. If the candles are big enough, they could be placed near the doorstep when guests are to arrive. Placing a symbolic number of candles – four – of different sizes and thicknesses at the door makes quite a great impression. If you couple this with tiny LED Christmas lights on the bushes leading to your door, your house will really be talked about. The shimmering LED Christmas lights and the flickering colorful candles would give your guests a very festive welcome.
