Pinecone Hanging Thing/Autumn Craft

Since it's the beginning of fall I decided to start with a fall inspired craft. Perfect for hanging on a door, post, railing, wherever! 


What you'll need:
Pine Cones

A Big Ass Needle

Scissors
Thread


Ribbon

(Optional) Drill

Select the pine cones you want to use. Try to pick ones that aren't falling apart. I decided to drill holes through mine so they could be easily threaded together. 


Except this one:
I could not drill through this one! 
It's the toughest pine cone on the planet!!

Anyway, if you are not going to be drilling through your pine cones just use your thread to tie them together. I found it's easier to tie a knot around the pine cone and then tie it to the rest of the bunch. 


Feel free to add acorns or leaves!

Sew the ribbon to the back and hang!
Happy Crafting!!

Tips
 1. Do not attempt to use power tools immediately after drinking a margarita.
 2. Tree sap is easily removed from hands with nail polish remover.
