How to Make a Pinecone Wreath

Learn how to make a pinecone wreath using hot glue, pine cones, burlap ribbon, and a wreath form. It's beautiful, rustic wall decor!

Wrap the wreath form in burlap ribbon to give it a smooth, even surface to glue the pinecones on.
Hot glue the ribbon to the wreath, and wrap it around with a slight overlap.
Keep wrapping the burlap around the wreath until it's all covered.
The purpose of the burlap is to give the pinecones a smooth surface to be glued to.
If you try to hot glue pinecones to the grapevine wreath itself, it can be hard to secure the pinecones well and make them look good.
Hot glue pinecones to the burlap-wrapped wreath, in varying positions.
Hold the pinecones in place as the glue cools and hardens, before moving on to the next pinecone.
If you let go too soon, the pinecones will slide around or fall off the wreath.
Continue hot gluing pinecones around the wreath form until it is all covered.
This is what the wreath looked like once the front of the wreath was covered.
You can see that it's still a little sparse in some spots, so I decided to add more pinecones to those areas.
Here is the finished pinecone wreath with more pinecones added.
Some of the pinecones on the inner and outer edges are hot-glued in a staggered way, with various sizes intermixed together.
This gives it a full look.

Wrapping the wreath form in burlap ribbon gives it a flat, smooth surface to glue the pinecones to. (This might not be necessary if you use a straw wreath instead of a grapevine wreath.)
As you add pinecones to your wreath, step back and view it from a distance. That will help you see any bare spots, and where to add more pinecones.
You can hot glue a loop of twine to the back to give you an easy hanging loop, or just hook the wreath form onto a nail or command hook to hang it up.
