Instructions:
I began by measuring the space for my garland and cutting my twine so that it would fit the space. If you don’t know the size of the space, I would say a 6 foot garland is a good place to start!
I cut 5 inch piece of twine and placed them about 6 inches apart all along my garland. Of course the length of your twine and how far apart you space them is completely up to you!

I tied a knot in the very end of each of my short pieces of twine. This will give the glue a bigger area to cling to, and make a better connection with the pinecone.

I made a pea size dollop of hot glue on the bottom of each pinecone, then I held the knotted string in the glue until it cooled most of the way, about 1 minute.

I repeated this for every short piece of twine, and here’s what I ended up with. I may not look like much but it’s so very elegant when it’s strung up on the mantle!


I just love how the pinecones sway with every gust of cold air that comes in the front door! Somehow this simple little garland manages to be both sophisticated and whimsical, and I just love it!
