This is our second approach to cones with pom poms. I came back to this idea during the Christmas workshops at my daughter’s school. Kids love pom poms, not to mention those with shiny fluff 🙂 All the cones at school turned out great, so we repeated the workshops with friends and neighbors 🙂 This time I added a version of the pine cones with beads, more for adults, because children got lost in pom poms 😉

At Christmas workshops, we also made pom pom baubles, full tutorial is here.
Materials needed for pine cones with beads and pom poms
- Pine cones with open scales – if you collect cones with closed scales, the scales will open after a few days of drying at home
- Glue
- Beads
- Pom poms ( max 1cm)
- Snow spray – kids love snow too, and the cones get winter look.
- Brush – optional, useful for applying glue.
How to make pine cones with beads and tassels
The initial step is to sprinkle the cones with snow spray. The cones will get more wintertime look.
Apply some glue on the scales of the cone using the glue applicator or a brush. Then put a bead or a pom pom on the glue. Continue until the cone is full.
Finally, attach a string on the top scale of the cone and tie at the end to form a loop.

Nothing gives more satisfaction than doing something yourself. I haven’t even thought about DIY as my hobby, I’ve just done different “projects” when it was needed. Sometimes it’s a disguise for the Masquerade Party in kindergarten. Another time, cutting out the pumpkin and baking the witch’s fingers for Haloween. Or simply organizing holiday souvenirs. Now I decided to share my realizations with you. Let’s go it together!
