Discover farmhouse pinecone DIYs for cozy fall and Christmas decor including wreaths, ornaments, garlands and easy crafts.
Hi there friends! There is something about just seeing a basket of pinecones that makes me want to start decorating for Winter! A few tucked into a favorite bowl… a beautiful wreath which my Mom always had on the door… little handmade trees with twinkling lights. Nature gives us such wonderful little treasures to work with, and pinecones are some of my favorites!
For this week’s Craft Friday, we are revisiting one of your favorite collections… The Ultimate Collection of Farmhouse Pinecone DIYs & Ideas! I have given our collection a little refresh and added some beautiful projects that I think you are going to love. There is a snowy wreath with the sweetest little cardinals, a gorgeous snowflake wreath, lovely pinecone stars and even a miniature forest of painted trees!
Of course, all those wonderful wreaths, garlands, topiaries, ornaments and woodland creations give us plenty of choices. Some are perfect for a little afternoon crafting, while others invite you to take your time and make something special. Whether you love a natural woodland look, a snowy Winter finish or a little holiday sparkle, I hope you find something that makes you say… oh, I want to make that!
It may still be Fall, but this is a lovely time to gather your supplies and start a few things you can enjoy through Christmas and the Winter months. So pour a cup of your favorite brew, get comfortable and let’s explore all these lovely possibilities together!

Before You Start Crafting
If you are gathering pinecones outdoors, give them a little preparation before using them in your projects. Choose sound cones, remove loose debris and let them dry fully. Julie from Southern Charm Wreaths shares her complete preparation method below. Purchased craft pinecones may already be prepared… check the package before adding any treatment.

And if you make one of these beauties, I would love to hear which one you chose! Will it be a wreath, a little tree, a garland or one of those adorable woodland friends?
Sending you tons of hugs and wishes for a lovely, creative weekend!
