Reindeer pompon decoration from pine cones

1) Start by putting a drop of glue on the lowest scale of the pine cone in the sequence that you wish. Take your pick among the differently colored pompons and stick them on spots covered with glue. Do the same on the other pine cone scales until they are entirely decorated. Let the pompons dry well out.

2) Cut the cords to a length of between 20 and 30 cm for each pine cone. Tie the ends together. Affix the cord as a suspension hook to the pine cone axis.

3) Ready!

1) First of all, create your reindeer face on the pine cone axis using wiggle eyes and a pompon as a nose. You can add a mouth if desired with about 2 cm long piece of decorative cord.

2) Now you need a piece of chenille wire about 16 cm long, which you shape into a “V” letter (serving as antlers). Cut off 4 more pieces of the same color measuring about 4-5 cm. Wind two short pieces of chenille wire of the same color around each main beam of the antlers, at a distance of about 1 cm. Shape them into a small “V” letter and cut them evenly.

3) Affix the finished antlers to the first pine cone scale with a drop of glue.

4) Cut the cords to a length of between 20 and 30 cm for each reindeer. Tie the ends together. Affix the cord directly behind the antlers.

5) Finally, hang all the pine cones you’ve designed on a fir branch or twig and enjoy the results!
