5. Pinecone Garland
December is the month of garlands. If you normally only make garlands for parties and celebrations, they’ll definitely become a part of your interior in the last month of the year. BLDG 25 shares the tutorial for a beautiful pinecone garland that you can hang over a window or a doorframe!

7. Icicle Pinecones
Icicles are such a wonder! Obviously you can’t have real icicles displayed as decoration, unless you’re planning on leaving the heat off all winter long, but you can capture some of the frozen magic within a pinecone centerpiece, as Clean & Scentsible will show you!
8. Pinecone Snowy Garland
