Gnome Ornament
Step 1: Begin by turning a pine cone upside down and paint the outer tips with white paint. Allow the paint to dry.

Step 2: While the paint dries, cut a triangular shape out of a piece of felt to become the gnome’s hat. 

Step 3: Wrap the wide end of the triangle around the base of the pine cone, forming a cone-shaped hat. Secure with craft glue or hot glue. Glue the seam. Scrunch the hat and secure the folds with a drop of glue. 

Step 4: Glue a pom-pom to the top of the hat.

Step 5: Glue a small wooden bead directly under the hat to create the gnome’s nose. 

Step 6: Cut a short piece of colored craft cord. Tie the two ends together to make a loop. Apply hot glue to the pine cone and place the tied end of the loop into the glue. 

Reindeer Ornament
Step 1: First, create the reindeer’s nose by securing a pom pom to the top of the pine cone with hot glue. 

Step 2: Add googly eyes onto the end of two pine cone scales towards the middle of the cone. 

Step 3: Cut two ear-shapes out of a piece of brown felt. Secure the ears near the back of the pine cone using hot glue. 

Step 4: Cut a piece of colored cord. Tie the two ends together to create a loop. Glue the tied end between two rows of pine cone scales. 

Tree Ornament
Step 1: Use hot glue to add mini pom poms to the tips of the pine cone scales. 

Step 2: Add a larger pom to the top of the pine cone.

Step 3: Tie a cord around the top of the pine cone. Tie the ends together to create a loop.
