From a grove filled with pine cones,
wired to a wire frame...
smaller cones on top...
add some ribbon and pumpkins...
my pine cone wreath!
Very similar to the ones I used to make with my grandmother.

ReplyDeleteKaren, love your wreath. Gorgeous wreath and ribbon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pine cone wreath! Veronica in Az.
ReplyDeleteKaren, that just looks stunning! I remember making one of these for my mother years ago, and it takes some work (my hands hurt for days). So I know what goes into this. It's a labor of love, and it's perfect on your door.
ReplyDeleteHappy Met Monday...

Man, that is so pretty. I love lovelove love it!! Some ladies from my church tried doing a few from cut pinecones, but it was terrible work---they had a horrible time trying to cut our SC pinecones!! Looks like you didn't cut yours and wow it is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought about using pinecones in a Fall wreath, but it looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I really like how the ribbon and pumpkins tied it all together.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty wreath! Lots of pines around here, and gathered up a few cones, but not sure what I will do with them just yet. have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I think I need to go tromping through the trees that surround my property before the snow falls. I really like the pumpkins you added! I have some just like them.
ReplyDeleteWish I had pinecones in my part of Texas. What a morph into that beautiful wreath. Pinecones make wonderful fall decor. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have made these wreaths before. They are beautiful. You have inspired me to make another one.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved pinecone wreaths! Yours is lovely!

I truly love this wreath. I have a pine cone basket that I have carried from state to state. There is just something about them that is so comforting.
