MASON JAR PINECONE TREE

December 21, 2016 by madincrafts 11 Comments

snow-covered-pinecone-tree-craft

No man’s land.  That’s a pretty good way to describe the post-Christmas winter months.  The Christmas tree and stockings don’t look right anymore, but it’s way too early for Spring decor.  This quick little DIY makes a cute mason jar pinecone tree that you can leave out all winter long!  I even used a large cinnamon-scented pinecone that will keep our home smelling great!

Gifts in a Jar

This week I am joining three other bloggers to bring you a week’s worth of DIY gifts in jars.  This pinecone tree would be sweet gift that can be displayed even after Christmas is over.

I originally thought I might want to use the mason jar lid for this project by decorating it with glitter tape.  Halfway through the project, I ditched the tape for more cotton batting, and I like the look much better.  I also considered adding glitter to the faux snow, but nixed that idea too.  Feel free to experiment as you create your own pinecone tree.

I started out by lightly coating the “branches” of my pinecone tree with faux snow.  This is the same product I used for my Christmas Cottage, and I love the way it looks when it is dry!

Next, I filled my half-pint jar with cotton batting, using my glue gun to hold the batting in place both inside and outside of the jar’s rim.

Finally I glued my pinecone tree in place on top of the batting.  If you would like a little sparkle on your tree, you could add glitter to the tree or to the batting.   I really like the wintery look of this little tree.  What do you think?

    […] Another idea is just let the pine cones be pine cones. If you can find a really big one it might be nice to use some white paint to make it look like there’s snow on it and to then place it in a glass jar on a bed of cotton batting. It’s a super simple Christmas decoration and it looks beautiful. It also has a modern vibe. For more details about this project you can check out madincrafts. […]
