If you want to make a pine cone Christmas tree, all you need is a Styrofoam cone, ،t glue and any other decorations you like. This idea for pine cone Christmas crafts with kids is really simple and suitable for children aged 6 and over, for example.

But younger, more experienced hands can also try their hand at the project.

Glue the pine cones around the cone with ،t glue. S، from the bottom and work your way up row by row. Here and there you can also use other decorations instead of a cone (e.g. small Christmas baubles, pompoms, artificial berries, etc.).

It is best to use a star for the top, which you can also make yourself if you can’t find anything suitable in the decoration store. For example, simple sticks can be glued or tied together like a star. If you wish, spray the tree with fake snow.

Finally, you can also d، a string of lights to light up the small Christmas tree and allow the pine cone decoration to be admired in the evening.

Tip: In a similar way, you can make a Christmas door wreath with the children. To do this, simply use a Styrofoam wreath and glue fir or pine cones to it.
