How to make pine cone Christmas ornaments in a few easy steps. Create a flocked snow-covered pine cone ornament with beautiful greenery and red berries, finished with a red velvet bow to add to your Christmas décor.
I love the look of snowy pine cones. There’s something so beautiful about freshly fallen snow on trees and pine cones. Of course, I say this coming from a place that never snows and oh how I long to look out my front window to enjoy a white Christmas for once. Since there isn’t a chance of that happening in our area in California, the next best thing is creating faux snow-covered pine cone craft to use in my holiday décor.

How to make Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments
- For this project, you will flock a pine cone with flocking powder and water. Once it’s dry, we’ll start decorating with beautiful Christmas greenery and berries.
- Once your pine cone is covered in snow flocking, you will need to gather some Christmas greenery. I like to use a glittery green pick with red berries for my Christmas décor. Check local craft stores for something similar. Trim a few pieces to fit your pine cone, then glue on top.
- Tip: add a small dot of hot glue to a few pieces of the greenery to lay flat along the pine cone. This is optional and depends on your preference for how the greenery drapes along the pine cone.
How to hang pine cone ornaments
- Make a small loop with twine or thin Christmas ribbon to hang the pine cone. Glue the ends to the top of the pine cone and then cover with a bow.
- For the bow, create your own using ribbon or pick up a pack of small red velvet bows. You can find these in the Christmas aisle of most craft and big stores like Target and Walmart.
