I love cones! They are a fun way to bring winter vibes into your home decor without it being like snowflakes and snowmen.
You can use pine cones in many ways, but one fun thing to do for Christmas is to make a tabletop Christmas tree out of pine cones!
I have made pinecones in two ways – one supermini and another a little bigger.
Either it’s a fun Christmas craft to do alone while drinking wine or with your kids!
Also, you can paint these pine cones green. I chose not to, to go for a more “natural” look, but if you want more Christmas, just add green spray paint!

Steps to do:

If you’re making this Christmas tree craft for kids, you can use coaster-sized sliced wood instead of corks to make them easier to balance and less likely to tip over!
Kids might like to decorate with larger sequins or even pom poms to create an adorable pinecone collection!
