This was a wonderful tutorial. Yours are one of the most beautiful wreaths I've ever seen. You gave very clear instructions and the reasons for your choices. I don't have that kind of pinecone in my area, but I now understand the process now. I am looking forward to collecting pinecones and seeing what I'm able to create. A big thank you. I also subscribed. 😊
Love this!! Now, to get my son to run out in Grandmas woods to grab me 200 pine cones LOL!!! Money, money will def factor in and still be cheaper than buying the cones and im not sure how much theyd shrink if theyre processed in a mass factory?! lOL! But thanks so much for this! Im glad you added that you CAN dry it indoors.....I put this outside of my apartment building...someone is DEF stealing it! Lol! They stole my neighbors wreath right off her door! She does live in the back apartments, right by the back exit door, but still, so many people get packages stolen that are left out front of the bldg, sadly! Glad it can can dry inside as not everyone has a place to leave something outside and I think A LOT of people forget that! =)
I finally did one last year from a grapevine wreath I had gotten on clearance a few years before. I collected pinecones, pods, needles, leaves, etc., and stuck them in the grapevine wherever it would allow. Since I used no glue I was able to remove the natural elements afterward and put them back in nature as food/homes for the critters (as I always told the Girl Scout troop I lead, Take nothing but photos and leave nothing but footprints). Nothing to store except the wreath I had to begin with.
@Sustainmycrafthabit if I wanted to buy more of the wire frames in bulk on Amazon which ones would you recommend? Some are not raised and I do not want to purchase the wrong ones could you please point me in the right direction? I was looking at the 12 in a bundle 14 inch wreath frames?
Hello! We haven't tried blue spruce - I'd suspect they're a little too fragile to hold and wouldn't be as full. But it's worth a try! Maybe use a smaller ring to test with?
Several people have asked me about making pine cone wreaths. I’m going to send them here! I assume you ship pinecones to U.S. customers on your Etsy shop?
very nice! however these are not pine cones. They are other conifer cones. Pine cones are a lot woodier and putting them in water won't change their shape.
Rude! Nobody is keeping you prisoner. I thought it was a fantastic video and appreciate it being shared with us. A fellow crafter should appreciate the time and effort put into, not only the craft itself, but the whole production.
Great idea, but common sense of what table to use and such wastes so much time, also constantly repeating your sizes , this instruction video is impatiently too long, but ty
I actually like the detail in this one. I'm usually the speed watcher as well, but she gives a lot of tips that will be useful when actually attempting one.

Thank you for watching! We think you'll also love this pine cone succulents project: ruclips.net/video/KbPQFyB8MIo/видео.html
They're all gorgeous! I never would have guessed it requires that many pinecones!
That's what makes it look so full! Hope you are all well. -Jane
Awesome tutorial with a beautiful result. Thanks for sharing and giving great instructional direction.🤗
You are so welcome!
Thanks for telling us how to get rid of the stickiness! I'll definitely be trying this!!
Our pleasure! There are also great ideas from others here in the comments!
Wow! So glad to see this video. I've made wreaths by wiring them on. This technique is sooooo much better. Thank you.
Our pleasure! We absolutely agree. -Jane

Thank you so much!
Thanks you this is exactly what I'm looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
You just saved me hours! Thank you! Any suggestions on how to pad the back?
So happy to hear this! We don't pad the backs of ours but I would cut a ring of felt fabric and glue to the back.
AWESOME VIDEO!! I am SO EXCITED to make this wreath!! That cardinal wreath is absolutely STUNNING!!❤ TYSM for sharing the secret tea😂🙌🏼LOVE IT!
Very beautiful result.
Thank you so much! -Jane
Can you do these with regular pine cones??
WOW, Just beautiful!
Thank you so much! -Jane
Thanks for sharing . Now I know how to do it . I made one one year & it turned out ok . But something was off . Now I know what was off . Thanks again
Very good tutorial.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely Beautiful ❤
Thanks for a lovely detailed video💜✨
Thank you for the detailed instructions. Turned out beautifully.
Our pleasure! So glad it helped. -Jane
That's tempting to do and I would try to soak the wreath in water and borax to get a crystalized look.
That’s really interesting! I think however they’d close up again and then the crystals would “stick” them shut.
@@Sustainmycrafthabit I was thinking more the tip of them (1/4 or 1/3 inch).
Super cute 🥰
This is an incredible idea! Thank you! ❤🇨🇦
Thank you so much!

Will you be getting more pine cones in your esty store?
We’re pretty low on stock. Please send a message through the shop with how many you need and we’ll check. Thank you!
I have blue spruce pine cones. Will they work?
Hello! We haven't tried blue spruce - I'd suspect they're a little too fragile to hold and wouldn't be as full. But it's worth a try! Maybe use a smaller ring to test with?
Does it matter if my wire form is completely flat?
Yes- you'll want a rounded one otherwise you won't get the same spreading out of the pine cones.

Yes we do!

Using plain peanut butter works as well
We'll have to try that!
I use baby oil to remove the sticky residue off my hands.
That's a great tip! Will give it a try. Thank you. -Jane
💜✨
Coconut oil will prolly work as a solvent for removing the pine pitch on your hands.
That's a great tip!
OLIVE OIL removes pine sap
Water needed to get the bugs..spiders out.
😮
Baking does that
I will put mine in the microwave
That's interesting! Will have to try that.
Oil will take off the stickiness
Any kind like cooking oil
👀
very nice! however these are not pine cones. They are other conifer cones. Pine cones are a lot woodier and putting them in water won't change their shape.
They are pine cones… white pine (Pinus strobus). Native to eastern North America. 😊
use olive oil to clean hands
Great tip! Will try that one.
While this was interesting and informative it was way too long and difficult to watch. I was glad to see some sped up footage.

Too long
Too detail.. too much talking too slow had to speed it up

It’s a tutorial, not a short.
