Total Time Needed: 1 Hour
Using pinecones collected on a Thanksgiving nature walk (or bought at a craft store), let the kids make a simple photo holder for a family snapshot taken during the gathering - and send everyone home with a craft that will preserve their memories of a wonderful holiday.
Materials
- Large pinecone
- Photo or printout (or, if you don't have one yet, an index card)
- Corrugated cardboard base
- Twigs, acorns, and other natural treasures
- Glue (we used Aleene's Original Tacky Glue)
Instructions
1. Start by inserting the photo, printout or index card into the pinecone so that it stands up straight.
2. Set it on a corrugated cardboard base, arrange twigs, acorns, and other natural treasures around it, and fix everything in place with glue. Trim the base as desired.
