Step 1

Cut two pieces of ribbon to your desired hanging length. For this tutorial, we measured out two feet of ribbon for each piece. Take one end of the ribbon and wrap it around the branch.

Step 5

Now attach the pine cones on top of the stems using the hot glue. Try to place them so that the stems are hidden. Use varying sizes of pine cones for a more balanced and interesting look.
