Far be it from CraftNight to overlook the ingenious pinecone.
We’ve been in quite the wintry way these past few weeks, with night time temperatures in the 40s, an exciting development for our glittery city by the sea. It’s a two-parter, wherein you can make a pinecone gift to nature, OR make a pinecone conversation piece, or both! Here are the details:
1.) PINECONE BIRD FEEDER – In the “cold” weather, birds need FAT, so I’m stirring up a little birdseed/peanut butter/shortening mixture, which we’ll call “veggie suet” and you can spend some time packing the mixture into the cone, tying some yard to it and hanging it on a tree when you get home. Los Angeles is home to many a brown nuthatch, and they LOVE to eat!
2.) PINECONE CREATURE – This will be a fanciful home made kit I’m putting together that will enable the crafter to build a creature of some sort, diagrams will be supplied, but if you want to just freeform it, that’s okay too, and this ornament will be suitable as a gift, or a showpiece for your home or office.
It’s nice to be back, come one, come all, get ready for an exciting year of wonderful crafts!
See you at the Craft Table,
