How to Make a DIY Pinecone Wreath for Valentine's Day

Learn how to easily make a pine cone heart wreath and display this cozy, foraged DIY craft in your home for Valentine's Day.

Equipment

  • Glue gun and glue sticks
  • Garden Clippers

Materials

  • Heart-shaped grapevine wreath you could also bend curly willow to make your wreath or use a wire frame
  • Assorted pine cones and pods
  • Fresh eucalyptus
  • Fresh curly willow
  • Pink and white acrylic paint
  • Paint brush
  • Floral wire

Instructions

  • Clean and bake your pine cones so they’re free of dirt and pests. Once they’re fully dry, gather your supplies and get ready to start.
  • Attach curly willow and eucalyptus to your grapevine heart wreath using floral wire and hot glue. This step is optional but adds texture and helps fill out the wreath.
  • Use clippers to cut the pine cones into flower shapes. If any pieces break off, simply glue them back in place. Tall, skinny pine cones work best, and sharp clippers make all the difference.
  • Wrap wire around each pine cone flower and twist to secure. Attach them one at a time to the wreath frame, adding a small dab of hot glue for extra hold.
  • Paint the pine cones pink using acrylic paint. Start with full-strength pink, then mix in white for softer shades. To save time, you can spray paint the pine cones before attaching them to the wreath.
  • Once everything is dry, hang or display your wreath on a door, wall, or mantel to enjoy throughout the Valentine’s season.
