This placement allows ample space to add smaller cones or embellishments to the whole thing as you progress. As you work your way inward, the wreath will naturally become a little bit tighter.

Using hot glue to secure the pine cones to the wreath guarantees stability but is also a quick and easy application. So, grab your hot glue gun, gather your wreath materials, and create a stunning pinecone wreath.

Following a few easy steps, you can clean and preserve the pine cones for many years to come, adding to the budget-friendly natural look and natural elements of this easy craft project.

Trust me, the cleaning process for large pine cones from Eastern white pine trees is straightforward and well worth the effort. This is the best way to make sure your pine cones are in optimal condition and ready to be added to your Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, or a pinecone wreath.

How to Make a Pinecone Wreath Easily

Step 1: Wrap Wire Wreath Form

I’m using an 8″ wire metal frame for this project. Wrap the entire wreath form with brown burlap and add a little bit of hot glue to secure it.

Add The Pieces To The Wire Frame

Step 2: Adding Pinecones With Glue

Now, it’s time to bring out your hot glue gun and start attaching the pine cones to the wrapped wire wreath frame. If you need to purchase pinecones, they are typically available at craft stores.

Once your hot glue gun is ready, apply a lot of hot glue to the bottom of the pinecone. Carefully place the pinecone on the outer rim of the wreath frame, pressing it firmly. Hold the pine cones for a few seconds for the hot glue to set on the wreath.

Continue this process, spacing them evenly around the entire wreath. The hot glue will provide a strong bond, keeping the pine cones securely attached.

Remember, as you work with the hot glue, exercise caution to avoid burns.

Once you have covered the outer ring of the wreath form, move on to the next step. Add another row of pine cones, placing them slightly inward from the outer row. Layer the pine cones for a dimensional natural look to the fall wreath.

Continue attaching smaller pinecones, along the second row. Make sure to add a lot of hot glue to the bottom of each pinecone securely glued to the wreath form.

Lastly, don’t forget to fill in the inner ring of the wreath with smaller pinecones. This step completes the wreath, ensuring a full and beautiful result.

Enjoy arranging and attaching the pinecones, and witness your wreath transform.
