Try out one of these sweet pine cone crafts
Pine cones are one of the most versatile and interesting natural materials you can use for your DIY projects. With their unique shapes and textures, pine cones can be used in a whole range of ways – from adding a bit of rustic charm to a home decor project to inspiring all kinds of creature creations for crafty kids.
Autumn is the perfect time to work on nature-inspired craft projects as the materials are much easier to come by once the leaves start to change colour on the trees, but if you want to try out some pine cone crafts at other points in the year, you can find affordable packs of them online.

From wreaths and ornaments to jewellery and bird feeders there are countless ways to use pine cones in your projects for both beginners and experienced crafters alike.
