Equipment

Glue (optional)
Ingredients
Pinecone
Jute twine
Instructions
Cut a 12 inch piece of twine.
Make a slip knot with one end of the twine. Loop it over the top of the pinecone. (You can also use glue, but we didn't need to.)
Wrap the twine around the top of the pinecone and keep wrapping until you have about 2 inches of twine left.
Loop the loose end of the twine under one of the wrapped pieces and tie into a knot to form a hanging loop at the top. (You can also just tie off the twine and then use an ornament hanger to hang the pine cone ornament.)
Hang on your tree or string together to make a nature garland!
Notes
*If you can, find the long, skinny pinecones. These will make the top easy to wrap the twine around. (It's OK if you can't. We had all different shapes and pinecone sizes!)*You can also get creative and include embellishments on your pinecone ornament. We tied pine branches/leaves to some of our ornaments and it made a really beautiful nature ornament!
