How to Make a Decorative DIY Pinecone Flower Garden Craft

I shared the tutorial for making this pinecone flower garden on a Facebook live which you can catch here. Or if you prefer the photo tutorial, continue reading below.

Start by making the pine cone flowers. Using a pair of snippers, clip the pine cone in half as shown.

Next, paint the pine cone flowers in any color of your choosing. I used a mix of pink, white and yellow.

Or if you prefer, we sell craft-ready pine cone flowers in our Etsy shop. We even have painted pinecone daisies all set to go in our shop as well.

Place some floral foam inside the wooden base.

Add some decorative embellishments like a raffia nest and a little bird.

Cut assorted branches to about 6-8″ high and glue the pinecone flowers to one end of the cut branch.

Insert the other end into the flower foam to make your little garden.

Cover the floral foam with decorative moss.

I added little felt leaves to the flowers and an adorable chalky signs of spring sign but this is totally optional. And that is it! The pinecone flower garden is complete.
