What you need
Pine Cone
Snow paint or white acrylic paint
Ribbon
Wooden Egg cup base
Card stock for poem
Instructions
This project is perfect for school fetes and fund-raisers.
Start by taking your pine cone and gluing it to the wooden egg cup base. If you don’t have a base, glue the pine cone to a block of wood, coaster, or even a recycled spray can lid.
Decorate the tree with white snow paint to make it look like a winter tree. Alternatively you could add wire and beads to look like Christmas tree lights.
Print out the poem and attach it to the pine cone.
On Christmas Day,
At half past three,
Make your self a cup of tea,
I’ll think of you,
You think of me,
Underneath the Christmas tree

Love it!
I used this poem on a card which was cut out in the shape of a tea pot and a tea bag was placed inside the card.
that is the cutes idea i ever saw good job
it rocks
cute idea easy enough to make
It would be cute if you could find a pine cone small enough to fit into a tea cup or mug, to include. I plan to send one to my son who is away in the Army.
I love this one think I will send this to my friend in Australia who I miss so much. Thank You
I love this so much. I have family that lives 3 provinces away from me, that I haven’t seen in 5 years. This is the perfect gift to send to them. Thanks so much!!
Great idea, open to adaptations and so simple
I was just looking for this craft, but it was made with a tea bag, not a pine cone. I’m glad I found the poem though, and will still make it with the teabag. My friend gave it to me years ago and I’ve lost it. Used to hang it on my tree.
got two crafts mixed up here!
I love the project!
