Crafts made of natural materials are always popular among needlewomen. Especially often from pebbles, leaves, acorns, cones are trained with children.
In this article, we'll talk about what can be done from cones.
Master class "Tree of cones"
A beautiful topiary of cones will become an ornament of any apartment. To create it, you will need:
- cones;
- paper (newspapers or any other that easily crumples);
- glue;
- golden thread;
- spray paint (golden);
- twig (stick for the trunk of a future tree);
- glue gun ;
- golden cardboard (bilateral);
- gypsum or any other mixture to fill the pot;
- pot;
- Ground coffee (you can take the used coffee grounds);
- buckwheat.
From newspapers or paper, we form a ball, crushing paper. For reliability, it is possible in several places to tie the finished ball with threads (not necessarily). On top glue the ball with a layer of paper. Make a hole in the center and stick a twig-stem, greased at the end with glue. Wait until the structure dries completely.
While the base dries, stain cones and 0.5 cups of buckwheat with a gold spray and cut out the asterisks from the double-sided golden cardboard. Asterisks can be made flat or bulky.

The dried foundation is covered with a layer of golden spray paint, wait for drying and glue the cones onto it with the help of an adhesive gun. We fill the pot with a plaster solution (not liquid) and install a sapling in it. We leave for complete hardening of gypsum.
After the gypsum hardens, cover it with glue and cover it with coffee grounds. On top of it we pour buckwheat painted with golden spray.
We thread cardboard sprockets (by pieces or garlands) on a thread and glue them on the tree crown.
If desired, the tree can be additionally decorated - tie the ribbons with a trunk, paste beads or crystals in the gaps between the cones. And you can leave it as it is. Such a tree will be an excellent gift for relatives or friends.
Now you know what kind of craft can be made of cones in just a few hours. In addition, from the cones you can make garlands (simply stringing the cones one by one on a string), decorative wreaths, candles for the fireplace, candlesticks, Christmas toys.
