Handmade Pinecones

Materials
Foil
Fabric*
Downloadable template**
Sharp scissors
Hot glue gun

*Tip: Use wool, corduroy, felt, foam crafting sheets, or repurpose fabric from an old sweater or shirt. You can use all one color, or alternate with different colors.

**Tip: Our template was created with an average-sized pinecone in mind, about 4” tall and 2” wide at the base, and it fits roughly in the palm of our hand. Feel free to alter the size of the template by changing the scale in your print window.

Instructions

1. Mold aluminum foil into an egg shape (the big end will be the bottom of the pinecone). The size of the foil egg depends on how big you’d like the pinecone to be.
2. Download and print our template, then cut out the three pinecone pieces.
3. Using double-sided tape or pins, attach the template piece to your fabric and cut out the shapes. You’ll only need one of each for the top (A) and bottom (C), but the scales for the middle (B) depend on how big you make the foil egg shape. Cut a bunch at first, then clip as you go.
4. Starting at the top, dab glue on the A piece and attach. Move your way downward around the foil egg using B pieces (feel free to alternate colors or fabrics), overlapping the rows as you go.
5. When the entire shape is covered, dab a little glue to the C piece and attach to the bottom.
