There is a misconception about homemade Christmas ornaments. Many novice crafters think that crafting homemade ornaments is cheaper than buying ornaments. It is sometimes. If you have a basic craft supplies stash and craft often, then it is usually cheaper to make them.
If you buy supplies from the [eafl id=”14226″ name=”Dollar Tree” text=”Dollar Tree”] when you can and use craft store coupons, then the cost in materials is negligible. However, the value of homemade ornaments far outweigh the material cost. Memories are made crafting the perfect ornaments together as a family.
Craft these pretty homemade Christmas pinecone ornaments holiday ornament using items from your local dollar store. Here is how to get started.
Dollar Tree Glitter Pine Cone Wreath Ornament
Materials
- [eafl id=”14226″ name=”Dollar Tree” text=”Glitter pine cones”] (Sold for $1 a bag at your local Dollar Tree)
- [eafl id=”14225″ name=”Create For Less” text=”Hot glue, glue gun”]
- [eafl id=”14224″ name=”Floral cone” text=”Ribbon of choice”]
- [eafl id=”14226″ name=”Dollar Tree” text=”Scissors”]
Directions
1. These pinecones are easy to craft with. You will see how easily they interlock together. Start by arranging them into a circle to see how big you want the ornament to be.
2. Apply glue to the ends of one side of the pinecone. Press another pinecone to the glue and hold until secure.
3. Repeat, adding an additional pinecone. Continue until your circle is complete.
4. Cut a length of ribbon and run it through the circle. Tie into a bow at the top for hanging.
You can craft these in a variety of colors as [eafl id=”14226″ name=”Dollar Tree” text=”Dollar Tree”] carries these crafting pinecones in red, gold, and silver. Or, you can spray paint pinecones prior to crafting to get the colors you want.
Your pinecone holiday ornament is ready to go on the tree. One thing we like to do is craft many ornaments and to distribute them to friends and family! Grandparents and neighbors love getting gift boxes with homemade ornaments to add to their tree. It’s a great way to spread cheer and have fun!

Love that glitter pine cones and the fact that they are already glittered. We tried glitter a coupe of weeks ago and it got dumped everywhere. Thanks for sharing at #made4kids!

you’re correct, making ornaments doesn’t necessarily mean saving money. Esp since you buy a lot more material than you’ll actually use ! I made all the ornaments this year and it wasn’t about saving money at all!

Fun craft. I gave all my pine cones to my granddaughter for her to make Christmas decorations with. Guess I need to get out and pick up some more!

Thanks for these craft ideas for kids. I have a two and a half year old great grand daughter who loves to “hep” every chance she gets. The pine cone wreath would be great for her to help with. We already have glitter in different colors we used to decorate stockings with. This would be so much fun for her and to feel like she contributed.
Ooh, pretty! I’ll have to look for those glittery pine cones – so many crafting opportunities come to mind! lol! #ThoughtfulSpot
