1. Christmas toys from cones
Large and voluminous cones make an amazing alternative to ordinary Christmas balls. You need the cones themselves, large beads, lace, glue and a ribbon bow.
2. Snow-covered cones
Tint the tips of the cones with white paint, brush with PVA and sprinkle with sparkles, foam crumbs, sugar or semolina. By the way, then such blanks can be assembled into a pretty garland.
3. Little animals from cones
To turn a pine cone into a funny animal, you only need a set of colored plasticine. Let the child himself come up with which figure looks like whom - an excellent exercise for developing fantasy and imagination.
4. Flowers from cones
For a bright bouquet, you will need paints, colored paper or fabric and branches according to the number of flowers. Paint the branches green and glue the leaves to them, and turn the cones into multi-colored buds.
5. Herringbone from cones
Make a base cone out of heavy cardboard and fill it with crumpled newspaper or foam for stability. Row by row, glue the frame with cones to make a fluffy Christmas tree.
6. Christmas cone wreath
For the base of a Christmas wreath, use a hoop, a bent hanger, or any other circle. Glue the cones to the base or string them with large beads and special clips. Decorate the wreath with a bow, tinsel and toys.
7. Candlestick made of cones
The simplest and funniest candlestick can be easily made even by a child. To do this, you just need to glue a suitable candle holder to a stable volumetric cone.

Felt details are a beautiful alternative to plasticine. They can be glued to regular glue, thinning the top of the cone slightly for convenience.
9. Pineapple from cones
To make pineapple, tint the tips of the buds yellow or golden. And collect the top from thin green strips of colored paper, curled around the edge.

Elongated bumps are also great for crafts. Use one instead of the body, the second instead of the head, and from the small ones make paws, tail and ears.
