Today I am sharing how to make a pinecone wreath easily. The first thing is choosing a base for this easy tutorial I’m using a wire form. A grapevine wreath or a foam wreath form will also work well for this project.
The best part about this is it is fast and besides adding rustic charm to any home decor style.
I did add a bit of a twist because I enjoy using natural elements so much. I especially enjoy using these for the fall and the holidays because they add a festive touch. And the best part about a pine cone wreath it works throughout the winter months too.

By the way, this is so simple the whole wreath project takes 20 minutes to complete.
Here’s my twist, because I enjoy adding natural elements to my décor, I did add some Hazelnuts in the shell.
What do you put in a Pinecone Wreath?
Pieces to Add to Your Wire Wreath Form
The best part is that you can dress up these wreaths with simple embellishments. Use some twine or ribbon to add a festive look for the holidays. Or how about painting the tips with a bit of silver craft paint, gold craft paint, or even white paint to the tips of the pinecones?
In fact, you can see I added silver paint to many of the pinecones in my wreath and this adds a touch of elegance to this natural element.
Again, I’m adding hazelnuts and you can incorporate walnuts, red berries, or white berries. Whit berries will enable you to keep this wreath up through winter. This makes this very cost-effective too.
So let’s take a look at how to make a pinecone wreath easily.
Can you Hot Glue Pine Cones to a Wreath?
Gluing These to a Project, Can This be Done?
The answer is YES of course! I will share images of me gluing these to my wreath project using pine cones. Begin with the larger pine cones on the outside edge This will give you enough space to add the other-size pinecones or other embellishments and will become a tighter fit.
Do You Have to Clean These for Crafts and to Make Wreaths?
Is Cleaning These Necessary for Crafts and Wreaths?
Generally YES, especially if these are coming from your own backyard. This makes this project even more budget-friendly because they are free.
And I have all these easy steps to clean and preserve these for many years to come.
This is especially important to do because bugs, debris, and sap will become a potential issue. Trust me this technique is very easy and is worth the effort.
Supplies List:
- wreath forms: wire wreath form, foam, or grapevine from Michaels stores or any craft store, or even Amazon with free shipping if a Prime member
- burlap:  brown or natural
- glue gun and glue sticks
- pinecones:  natural medium pinecones and natural small pine cones
- hazelnuts in the shell – optional
- ribbon for hanging
I will be hanging this easy wreath project on an antique cathedral rustic shutter in my kitchen for this upcoming season. This craft is especially great because this works for the entire winter!
How to Make a Pinecone Wreath Easily
Step 1: First Wrap the Circle with Burlap
I’m using an 8″ wire wreath form for this project. Wrap the entire wreath round with brown burlap and add hot glue to secure it.
After wrapping the entire circle add a bit of hot glue.
Add the Pieces to the Round Form
Step 2: Adding Pinecones with Glue
Now, using your hot glue gun begin to add your pinecones. These are great prices if you need to purchase these.
After adding a decent amount of glue, place the pinecone on the outer ring of the wreath form. Hold for a few seconds to set in place.
After the outer wires are covered begin adding another row of the assorted pinecone. Lastly, fill in the inner ring as well for this lovely wreath.
Begin Adding Nuts in Open Spaces on the Project
Step 3: Places Extra Pieces to Add Extra Detail
Next step, begin adding the nuts to fill the gaps between the pinecones. Adding the nuts is also quick and adds an extra rustic touch. As a rule, I add hot glue to the tips of the nuts and nestle in between the pinecones. After applying the hot glue simply hold the nut for a moment to set.
Besides hanging the new wreath, for example, add this to your front door to welcome guests. Also, add this as a table centerpiece with a battery operated candle in the center.
By the way, if you enjoy projects, especially for Christmas this is an easy and pretty sign for holiday decor. This also makes a wonderful gift. Because there’s nothing like giving a homemade gift as a Christmas present. Often times they are loved and appreciated the most!
