Pine Cone Christmas Crafts

There are so many fun things to make for the holidays with just some simple pine cones.  Use pine cones from your own collection or purchase bags from the craft store to create one or more of these festive Christmas decorations.

All of these pine cone Christmas crafts are easy for kids to complete.  Just click on the links for the full step by step instructions.

1.  Pine Cone Reindeer by All Free Christmas Crafts:

All you need for these cute little reindeer are some pipe cleaners, googly eyes, pine cones and of course some red pom poms for those noses!

2.  Pine Cone Carolers by Spoonful:

I love how these carolers are made almost entirely from nature.  Just add a little paint and some construction paper and you have a fun project that is practically free.

3.  Pine Cone Elves by Belladia:

These elf ornaments are so adorable and are made from mini pine cones from a potpourri bag!  The wooden bead heads and pipe cleaner limbs are colorfully decorated with felt which is easy to cut and glue.

4.  Pine Cone Snowman by Family Crafts:

A collection of pine cone Christmas crafts wouldn't be complete without a lovable snowman!

5.  Pine Cone Angel by The Crafty Arty Kid:

These angels would look perfect hanging from a window or as an ornament on the Christmas tree.

6.  Pine Cone Christmas Trees by Starr Kissed:

And, speaking of Christmas trees, kids can make and decorate their very own trees with large pine cones.

Since many of these crafts require some of the same supplies such as pipe cleaners, beads, pom-poms and paint, you could spend an afternoon making several of these projects without spending a lot of money.

Kids Christmas Crafts

Now that Halloween is over, it is time to start thinking about Christmas and decorations coming up.  Kids love to get involved with this and I have found several great kids Christmas crafts that will have them spreading cheer around your place in no time.

1.  Peppermint Wreaths by Martha Stewart:

Instead of using glue, these edible ornaments are held together with icing.  These would be cute hanging from a metal tree as a centerpiece at a dessert table.

2.  Candy Cane Bead Ornament by All Kids Network:

This craft is an easy one to complete with pipe cleaners and beads.  Kids will have fun decorating the tree with their very own handmade ornaments.

3.  Snowman Jars by Art Craft Ideas.

Recycle your jars and let your kids make cute snowmen to line a shelf or table.  Just fill the jars with cotton batting and decorate with googly eyes and buttons.  Use fabric, ribbon, cupcake liners, pipe cleaners or any other trim that you have for extra embellishments.

4.  Pine Cone Angels by Nini Makes:

I love crafts involving pine cones and these little angels are just so sweet!  Just a few supplies are all that are needed to create these lovelies.  Click on the link for the step by step tutorial.

5.  Toilet Paper Roll Penguins by Our Big Earth:

Some wintry penguins made from recycled toilet paper rolls are going to be inexpensive and fun to make.  All you need to add is some construction paper, markers and maybe a little glitter!

Happy Crafting!
