How to Make Flowers Using Pine Cones

Step 1:

Soak the pinecones in water for about 2 to 3 hours, then wash them properly. Once done, let them air dry for a day. To make the process faster, you can bake them for 45 minutes at 370F. Let them cool before using.

Step 2:

Cut each pine cone into two or three parts.

Step 3:

Paint them in white on all sides then let them dry.

Step 4:

Paint each petal to your preferred color, then paint the center yellow. Let them dry.

Step 5:

Get the cardboard and paint in your preferred color. Use black paint to make brush strokes and make it look distressed.

Step 6:

Glue the small stems on the bottom part of the carboard. Do not glue the whole stems onto the cardboard so you can tie a ribbon around them. Next, take the pinecone lowers and glue on the stems.

Step 7:

Tie the stems with a ribbon.
