Colorful DIY Easter Door Decor Idea
If you follow us on social media, you know we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to craft with pinecones for so many reasons!
Here are just a few:
- Easy to find and FREE! We often go pine cone collecting in our neighbourhood.
- Versatility – they can be used for dozens of craft and DIY projects – check out our pinecone craft gallery here
- They are a great way to bring the outdoors in
So when we were thinking about making something unique for Easter to hang on our front door, we immediately thought about using up some of our pinecones. What better way to update them for spring than by painting them? We went with pretty pastel shades in pink, purple, green, yellow and white.
The moment we started painting them they came to life! The soft pastel shades completely changes the look of them. Plus, you don’t need any special type of paint. Use whatever you have on hand.
Let’s get to the easy tutorial so you can make your own colorful Easter door decor.

How to Make Easter Door Decor with Pinecones
Place pinecones on a sheet of parchment paper and paint each pinecone in a different color of pastel colored paint. Let the paint dry fully.
Drill a small pilot hole at the bottom of each pine cone. Insert a piece of wire loop. You can also add a bit of hot glue or wood glue to hold the wire in place if needed.
Cut twine pieces approx 25” long.
Fasten the end of the twine through the loop on each pinecone, staggering the lengths of the twine.
Create a large hanging loop with the other ends of the twine.
Create a large double bow and secure it just below the large hanging loop at the top.
Can you believe how simple that was? Think about all the different variations you can make with this same idea. What about a festive red, white and blue door hanging for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July? The possibilities are truly endless with this pinecone craft.
