DIY Pinecone Picture Frames

This DIY is practically free, except for a few inexpensive supplies, but I think that the time invested in making these would be what really counts with this project. If you are wondering what to do with pine cones in the yard, this is a fabulous solution!

During the holidays, these would even be fabulous pinecone crafts to sell or give as gifts. Have fun, and let me know if you make these cute pinecone picture frames. I may just make some for our family tree this year! They would make such cute Christmas ornaments, too.

They can also serve as pine cone decoration ideas for all year round. Don’t feel like they are seasonal at all. You could even make a larger version and lay it on its back for pine cone table decorations. I would probably not use a photo, but a pretty paper or pattern would suffice.

I can picture them as place cards, as a wedding favor for guests, or even adorning a tree with photos of the bride and groom. If you’re wondering what can you do with pine cones, here is your answer – adorable!

Pinecone Picture Frame Instructions

1. Use the small floral clippers to clip off the pinecone “scales” as close to the base as possible. Be careful!!

2. Glue your photo to the cardstock.

3. Cut out the photo in whatever shape you would like. You can use a template if you wish to get a specific shape.

4. Hot glue the pinecone scales around the edges on the back of the photo so that their edges can be seen. Here is where you can get creative, if you would like, by adding some scales to the front of the photograph.

5. Glue a ribbon loop to the backside of the photograph so that you can hang your frame if you wish.

6. Cut out the decorative paper so that it fits onto the back of the photo, and glue it in place so that it covers both the glued part of the ribbon and the pinecone scales.

7. Allow to dry, and then hang and enjoy these cute home decor ideas with pine cones!

This project was found on the Martha Stewart website (they’ve since deleted the project). They always have such great ideas over there, and all the photo credits belong to them as well.

Thanks, and I love inexpensive, natural ideas like these home decor ideas with pine cones. For another natural project, turn paper into bowls—so fun!
