  • orange paint (acrylic)
  • paint brush
  • green and/or brown pipe cleaner, cut in half
  • scissors
  • glue

Getting the Pinecone Pumpkin Craft Ready:

For our pinecone pumpkins, we used pinecones we collected from a nature walk. We looked for more rounded pinecones that looked more “pumpkin shaped”.

This craft would also look really nice with the smaller, rounded, pinecones that are found in craft stores. I also made sure our collected pinecones were clean and free of bugs.

Acrylic paint works best for coverage, as well as a thicker paintbrush to dab paint into the center of the pinecone.

I pre-cut the pipe cleaners in half to make it easier for the kids. We just used green, but brown works nicely too!

First, dip the paintbrush into the orange paint and spread it onto the surface of the pinecone. Dabbing and pushing the paint into the center helps with coverage.

Once the pinecone is covered with orange paint, set it aside to dry.

Use a finger or a pencil to make a spiral with the pipe cleaners. Do this by twisting a green or brown stem around a finger or pencil. Remove it and them pull it apart slightly.
