Holiday Pine Cone Candle Holder

A fun craft to do using the treasures collected from a nature walk with your kids. This easy Christimas craft will look great on your dining room table as a Christmas centerpiece or mantelpiece.

Materials:

• Plasict cover from coffee can ( or similar container)
• Fun Foam
• Clear aluminum tin (such as from Tuna or cat food)
• Glue Gun
• Hot Glue sticks
• Pine cones and acorns
• Gold braid, lace trimming or evergreen garland

Steps:

1. Take a large plastic lid from a coffee can or similar-sized container, cover the top with fun foam in the color of your choice (red shown here).
    
2. Do the same with a small, empty, cleaned-out cat-food can (this was "Fancy Feast").
    
3. Stack the catfood container on top of the coffee can lid to create a tiered effect.
    
4. Add some pretty trim around the edges, like the gold braid shown here.
    
5. Lastly, glue on those cool nature walk finds -- pine cones, seed pods, acorns and more.
   
   
   Crafter's Note: This is terrific as an individual place-setting decoration on a fancy holiday table.
