P2 and I saw some beautiful dolls made out of different size pine cones sitting on a Friend's fire mantal. </P><P>They are also cheap decoration when you are freshing up the old Christmas wreath from last year.Thu, 10 Feb 2011 07:13:36 GMTcweickhttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic22230-6-1.aspxpine cone crafts... I once saw an article where they added eyes and a little hat and made an elf for the tree. Me, I have a bowl of different cones as a decoration. Towards Christmas gold balls go in with the cones. Towards valentines I switch some to reds and towards Easter they turn to pastels. Rest of the year the cones go in a bag to be brought out next Christmas. My mother used to make wreaths with them, cutting the big ones so they looked like flowers.Thu, 10 Feb 2011 07:03:31 GMTValerieJeanhttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic22230-6-1.aspxThis year as Christmas presents we are using the scented oil with candle wax and to cover the cones to they can use them in the fire to make the room smell nice.</P><P>Son wanted to use the small ones as place card holders for Non-Turkey Day...LOLMon, 06 Dec 2010 08:59:14 GMTcweickhttp://board.hobbyfarms.com/Topic22230-6-1.aspxThanks for your sharing.
