Fun and easy Christmas crafts for kids that will help you turn tiny pinecones into mini Christmas trees! These can be placed on tables, or desks - give one to your mom or teacher for their desk!
Pinecones can be found all over the ground in the late fall.
Be sure to grab a bunch because there are many crafts we can make with them - big and small!
This tiny Christmas tree is very portable so you can have Christmas with you all the time.

Step #1:Paint your entire pinecone with the green paint. Allow it to dry. While it dries you can start to decorate the real Christmas tree, or start your letter to Santa. |

Step #2:Once the green paint has dried, apply white paint to the tip of each leaf of the pinecone. This gives a look of snow on the ends of the branches. Again, let it dry. While it is doing that why not make some of our pipecleaner Christmas ornaments. |
