Things you’ll need:
Styrofoam ball
Wire
Wire cutters
Hot glue gun
Hot glue sticks
Pinecones
Greenery
Things to do:
1. Cut a 1-foot piece of wire and form it into a circle, leaving 2 inches of wire ends. Twist the ends together, creating an anchor.
2. Run hot glue down the twisted ends and press it into the Styrofoam ball.
3. Next, you’re going to start attaching pinecones. Apply a thick layer of hot glue to the base of your pinecone and stick it on the surface of the Styrofoam ball. Repeat this step, placing the pinecones as close together as possible, until the entire surface is covered.
4. When all of your pinecones are in place, trim pieces of greenery from a branch and use hot glue to attach them to the Styrofoam ball wherever Styrofoam shows through.
