This slow and simple pine cone craft is inexpensive, eco-friendly and approachable, with many of the ingredients likely available in or around your home. The finished pine cones can be strung to create a wall art display, embellish a winter wreath or swag, decorate your tree, or top a gift.
With this autumn-inspired botanical craft, I decided to combine previous pressed flower and pumpkin vase projects into what I am called my pressed flower pumpkin vase! This is a great craft to share with little ones or fellow craft-loving mamas alike.
I’ve found so much joy making my own wreathes. Last year, I shared a tutorial on how I made an herbal wreath made with fresh cedar clippings, rosemary, sage, eucalyptus and mint. This week, I pulled out my trusty wire base once again and made an olive branch wreath to hang on our front door. It is simple and timeless and I wanted to share the process with you.
Here at Cedar House Farm, building a pumpkin fairy cottage has quickly become one of my children’s favorite autumn traditions. It is an opportunity for our family to forage in the fresh air, brainstorm and create together with natural materials. It's an opportunity for your children to let their imaginations run wild and for us to witness how much joy outdoor adventures bring them. And the end product provides weeks of imaginary play.
