Pine Cone Elves
Really nice Christmas tree decorations can be expensive, but they don't need to be if you make a few of them yourself.I love pine cones, they make brilliant firelighters, they're free if you live near a pine tree, they even tell you whether it's going to rain or not (I can't quite remember how they do that though?) These little Pine Cone Elves are such a fab idea and they'll cost you a little felt and a bag of wooden balls - a couple of quid for around 50 little wooden balls!
I also use pine cones as they are, they make handy clips to keep the Christmas tree wires tucked in on my tree.
I have pinecones all around the house at Christmas, in bowls with baubles and pretty much just scatter them around so my house feels a bit more Narnia!
