Do one last light spray of water to do any final shaping, and you have holiday decoration that takes hardly any time to make, but could very well be passed down for generations. The leather gives it a timeless look that fits into virtually any décor scheme.

To cut out the shapes needed for this project, you'll need a template from Freshly Picked. You'll also need spacers — very small pieces of leather, plastic, or cardboard that you'll place in between each piece of leather when you put the pine cone together. You'll want each spacer to be about 1/8 inch thick, with a hole punched out of the middle.
