    Easy Pine Cone Angel Ornament Craft DIY idea.

    This project turns a regular pine cone in to an adorable angel in just a few steps.

    The angel can then be used as an ornament or to simply hang elsewhere.

    Did you make my Clothespin Poinsettia Ornament DIY ?

    That is another easy and cute ornament that you can make in about a half hour. Both this angel ornament and that clothespin ornament would look nice when displayed beside one another.

    Make this project even easier to make by using already painted pine cones. You can find painted pine cones here!

    Is it pine cone or pinecone?

    Technically, the answer may be both. That is, some folks call it a 'pine cone' while others say 'pinecone'.

    If you are not sure which to call it, you can alternatively call it a 'conifer cone'.
    A pine cone and a pinecone are both a 'conifer cone'. YAY!😉

    When is the best time to find pine cones?

    Where I live, I see pine cones growing in the spring and fall.
    The fall is the best time to find good pine cones, depending on where you live.

    Tips for making a pine cone angel.

    Select pine cones that are free of dirt, dry and fully intact. Picking them directly off of the tree may be a good idea.

    More tips for you

    1. When selecting the wooden craft ball for the head, select one that is a good proportion for the cone. This also goes for the width of the ribbon that will be used to make the wings.
    2. This project is suitable for many ages. However, certain folks may need a bit of assistance especially when it comes to painting and gluing.
    3. Many, if not most, of the materials in this project can be found at your local dollar store. Pine cones can be purchased as well if needed.

    Personalize your angel ornament.

    This is a relatively simple project to make.
    It is also a cute angel when it is finished.

    Here are some ideas on how you can make your pine cone angel even better.

    • Instead of painting her white and using white wings, experiment with other colors.
    • Use scented pine cones or add a bit of scent to your finished angel.
    • Use a clean Golf Ball to make the head instead of the wooden craft bead.
    • Write or attach names on your angel to use as a gift tag.
