Pinecone Creatures
great way to use pinecones for cute creatures
Nice project to do together
Details
Ordinary pine cones, of any size, can be made to look almost
exactly like tiny owls simply by adding "eyes" which can be
purchased at any hobby or craft shop. The cute stylistic little
creatures can then be mounted on stained or burned plywood
plaques, a hanging device or hook added, and they sell like
hotcakes.
Mount the little birds on a small limb or twig, glue the whole
scene onto a plaque background of any kind, display them and
people will want them.
Sell them singly or in groups. Start with one large "mama" owl,
then add two or three "baby" owls for an attractive grouping.
They are cute.
Find an old limb with a knot hole, or an old board. Mount a
small bird just inside the hole, or on a twig just outside of
the hole. You have a scene people will love.
The idea of using natural products to make nature scenes appeals
to many people.
One person sells more of these than he and all of his grand kids
can turn out.
Combine cones, pods, twigs, old wood, boards, dried flowers and
leaves. Be creative and use your imagination. You can make
money from ordinary pine cones.
