Thrifty Gold Pine Cone Topiary

September 13, 2017 By Meegan 12 Comments

It is that time of month for the Thrifty Style Team to share their ideas for thrifty home decor. For my own idea I made a Thrifty Gold Pine Cone Topiary.

This is so easy and you can be as creative as your imagination will take you.

I shared this post about 3 years ago and it was featured on Huffington Post. I thought you might like to see it again with the Thrifty Style Team.

Fall Crafts

To make your own Thrifty Gold Pine Cone Topiary, you will need:

peat pots

pine cones

gold metallic spray paint (or any color YOU like)

Fall Decorating Ideas

 First:

Place your pine cone in the peat pot. You will want to use “smallish” pine cones so they sit snug in your peat pot. (You can glue it with hot glue if you wish.)

Fall Decorating

 Step 2:

Using your gold spray paint, paint your peat pot and pine cone.

Thanksgiving Tablescape

 Once your pine cones and peat pots are dry, the REAL fun begins.

I gathered together:

a vintage shutter (optional, BUT looks SO good in the middle of a dining table)

fall colored leaves

acorns

a berry vine

twigs

magnolia pods

dried sunflowers

dried artichokes (optional)

a table (coffee table or dining room table)

Shutter as a Table Runner

 Place your shutter on a table.  Then begin to place all of the other components randomly on your shutter.

Gold Thanksgiving Ideas

 Wind your vine through and around your Thrifty Gold Pine Cone Topiary.

 My colored leaves are from a recent trip to California.  My acorns are from a trip to Washington D.C. last Fall.

The dried artichokes were a Pottery Barn purchase a few years ago.  I love using them for Fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas decorating.

Who would have thought peat pots, pine cones, leaves, acorns could make such an impact for a Fall or Thanksgiving table? You could even add candles for a more formal look.

    We are always looking for new ways to use pine cones around here, it’s a very affordable craft when they fall off trees in your own front yard!
