Paper Pinecone Christmas Ornament Styrofoam Egg Shape Beautiful

[@jenniferahough4983]

Thanks for the lovely reminder on how to do this. Made them 20+yrs ago when I lived in Germany. Totally forgot how until now :-) Must look them out next time I'm at Dads. The ones I did were made with ribbons. Great year round decorations.

[@HeyGirlie92]

Thank you for this, Margaret! I'm really inspired to use distressed pages from books, maps, gobs of options! Thank you!

[@danahardin4647]

So glad I found your instructional video ... cannot wait to make with my family. Thank you!

[@margaretmeyer9435]

Have fun!

[@bijouxw1014]

Thank you for the great tutorial. Great explanations. My fingers were starting to hurt watching you, I kept thinking," you should use a thimble"...less pain and then you mentioned it, ESP. So I will use a thimble!!! I saw a similar one and think I will add glue to pins to hold them in better. Great idea.

excelente tutorial.....hermoso y muy fácil....gracias por compartirlo....desdeChile miles de saludos...

In the 60s, we did all types of crafts involving pins, pocket knives and matches. Nobody was predicting we would hurt ourselves. We didn't. Adults can hurt themselves, too. Inuit 6 year olds, for example, know how to remove scales from a fish using a sharp knife. This would be a great project for 8 year olds... I bet the pins give it a good weight to hang nicely in the tree.

[@melbabowen4389]

Thank you for the tutorial. Such a pretty ornament

[@brigittahoffmann9283]

These are so pretty and the technique is very creative ☺. Very beautiful 🤗😍

[@rhondag2926]

I love it! I've seen it done with fabric, but I think I like it more with paper. And I like the way you put the ribbon on. thanks!

[@jaghaglee957]

You can save on pins by consistently not pinning one side (say, the right side) so that when you overlay the next “leaf” over the unpinned one, you can use one pin to go through through the two “layers”. Good Luck!

[@margaretmeyer9435]

I love that idea!!!

[@phyllisnufer]

If using the Stampin' Up glimmer paper, you can peel off the backing to make the paper thinner. Thanks for sharing! These are beautiful!!

[@judyyoung6969]

what a great and informative video. You explains how to make this in such detail. Thank You

[@masonsbluff01]

great video!! i can't wait to make these for Christmas gifts!!

[@Flora-shop]

Very beautiful video ♥

[@mariacastellanos6210]

Beautiful work and I love it.

[@mariacastellanos6210]

Beautiful beautiful.

[@JoyceWhitaker-k2q]

Beautiful. I make them with fabric but will try it with paper.

[@margaretmeyer9435]

I’ve done fabric too!! Love them all🤎

[@saharhawasli8567]

Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.

[@rhondaschaffer1297]

Can't wait to get started....

[@Mtda1sy]

I am using Elmer's Craft Bond clear permanent 3/8" glue spots instead of pins. It helps to touch the paper to the dot and then secure it to the egg.

If a thimble isn't available, you can us a spoon or even butter knife. If you have a baby spoon with the type that has a covered "bowl", it works even better.

[@Monheganer]

Great project. Thank you making the video.

[@grammie2bay]

Really neat idea :)

[@Saucyakld]

So pretty, just finished one! Love making them. I used quilting cotton. You do know that these are upside down?

[@missnz00]

[@giftshoppe2]

[@rebeccadees2300]

Very nice!

[@sabrynadavis723]

really great video, thank you! can't wait to bring this fun craft to my family's annual christmas ornament makin' party!

[@margaretmeyer9435]

Oh now that will be fun!! Enjoy and thank you!!

[@mariacastellanos6210]

I love is so beautiful and thank you very much.

[@rickdillenbeck7397]

This is great, I'm going to make these before xmas time next season, Thanks! However I'm not crazy about your lining up of the tips and though it looks kind of geometrical and cool, it's not the way pine cones grow or look naturally so I am going to stagger them like nature created.

[@margaretmeyer9435]

Love it!

[@rivergal47]

Thanks so much! I have also worked with fabric squares and as for paper, origami. Yes and lots of straight pins. Cheers!

[@margaretmeyer9435]

Thank you! Fabric is great too...felt too.

[@eveny119]

Appreciated the video. Put my own twists on it used glue. Tried the paper bag idea for a more rustic country look, alternated with brown scrapbook papers. My Tip: I painted the top of egg , then topped with pc of pine garland.

[@paulwoodhall8808]

Your tip doesn't make a great deal of sense

[@eveny119]

I didn't use any pins I glued down the paper triangles directly to the egg. The top of the egg is not easy to finish (cant finish it with triangles) so if I used red paper I painted the top of egg with red paint, then I made a decorative top by gluing a little twig of pine garland over the top looking like a pine branch.

vous appreciez cette vidéo ? pourtant on ne voit que son ordinateur

[@gladyschewyful]

Where can I get the paper pattern?

[@lindak3201]

Where did you get your eggs? I would love to try these and want to get the same smooth foam. Thanks for sharing!

[@margaretmeyer9435]

In the description is a link to eggs. Thank you these pine cones are so pretty and fun to make.

[@MsSemolady]

I made these Years ago out of ribbon and then decorated the top with some mini xmas decorations and garland. Sold Hundreds at craft shows.

[@yuliyamulvaney4881]

I agree. I also make the put of ribbon and they look amazing. :)

[@patgray2134]

can you use 2x3 pieces for this..??

[@gbpackerfan065]

what size was the little square papers ???

[@margaretmeyer9435]

The papers are cut into 1 inch squares and it depends on the size of your styrofoam. : )

[@GingerRootable]

What size are the little squares before you fold them? I went to get a cuppa and cannot find out what size to make the pre folded squares. Does it matter?

[@margaretmeyer9435]

I used 1 inch squares and it depends if you are using a larger egg you could do 1 1/2 to 2 inch squares. Hope that helps!!

[@GingerRootable]

Thanks for helping me out! This looks like fun and its really classy looking. Can't wait for your next video! Years ago my mum's neighbour used to give her these gorgeous hand made ornaments (each one is a work of art, hand beaded and some are fashioned out of clay and fired in a kiln) as a "thanks" to her for doing her hair at home as she was pretty ill before she passed away, my mum never charged her. I have all the ornaments now since I do the "Happy Christmas" at my house because we can't all squish-squash at my brothers flat. Its nerve wracking taking these ornaments out and hanging them so I am trying to start a new tradition making our own, so if one breaks its on me. All this irreplaceable stuff is just soaking away the fun! I plan on tying your beauties to ribbon around the gift boxes or adding them to stockings hung on the fireplace.

[@margaretmeyer9435]

I'm glad to help Ginger! Wow, I just know those ornaments the neight lady made are beautiful. People amaze me with their talent. We can all learn from each other. I've been crafting since grade school. Alway have loved it. Have a great week...xoxo Bear hugs from Montana!

[@motherhen10450]

Can you use fabric when you make these

[@nanawade8770]

Fabric may be hard to get a sharp, clean side when you fold to make the shape.......I used thin, wrapping paper. Give it a try......I made 100's of these years ago...sold at craft fairs......

[@user-rw1sf4em6e]

What size are the pins? Are they dressmaker pins? I am doing a program at a library and I bought pins that I felt were short enough but they were costly for the amount I needed. The box said 12 - 3/4. There were other pins that said 17 - 1 1/16 and I believe they were dressmaker pins but they looked long but were less expensive.

[@LB-vl3qn]

I'm about to try this myself, and will be using sequin pins, which are half an inch long. JoAnn has them in the sewing section. I saw someone in another video making these with fabric and he used sequin pins. He also dipped them in Elmer's glue before inserting them. Typical sewing pins seem like they'd be cumbersome to use and might stress the styrofoam. Here's the link to the other video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp2Qcn6NoNaqbaM

[@user-rw1sf4em6e]

L B thanks, I wound up buying the1 1/16" pins and they worked. Sometimes we had to be careful because they did run into each other but overall they were successful and we did not dip them in glue. Have made two eggs with 3/4" pins and the longer pins and no glue and both have worked without glue.

[@LB-vl3qn]

Good to know those pins worked. I'm trying to find time to get to these, hopefully before Christmas.
