Easy DIY Painted Pinecone Wreath Step by Step
Learn how to make an easy DIY painted pine cone wreath for your front door! You will enjoy making this budget-friendly fall home decor piece this year!
Servings: 1 large wreath
Equipment
- ​wire wreath form
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- natural pine cones (both small and larger pinecones)
- raffia
- wire cutters
- floral wire (I like the brown paper-covered wire)
- floral snips with a pointed end
- paint (I used Dixie Belle chalk paint colors listed below)
- small paint brush
- faux greenery (optional)
Instructions
- Gather pinecones from nature. Allow to dry out in a box in your garage. You can also dry them in a preheated 170* oven that has been turned off. Place pine cones on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and leave them in the warm oven for 45-60 minutes.
- Use pointed floral snips to clip the pine cones in sections that look like flowers.
- Paint the pinecones using a variety of fall-colored paint. Change the look for other seasons by changing the paint colors! Allow to dry completely.
- Attach raffia to the wire wreath frame using brown paper-covered thin wire leaving long tails of wire for the next step.
- Use the ends of the wire from step four to secure clusters of pine cones to the wire frame.
- Use hot glue to help hold the pine cones on the raffia covered wire frame.
- Attach the painted pine cones to the raffia with hot glue. Place the painted pinecone flowers around the wreath in a pleasing way.
- Add a hanger to the back of the wreath by looping a long piece of the wire in the desired length. Then hang the wreath from the wire!
