Gather Your Supplies

For this craft you will need: styrofoam wreath/ burlap ribbon/ pine cones/ acorns/ garden twine/ hot glue gun/ scissors. Note: Before crafting with acorns and pine cones, they must be prepped. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and cover with a layer of prewashed acorns, bake for 1-1/2 to 2 hours at 200 degrees to dry them and eliminate bugs. Place pine cones in the oven with the acorns for the last hour of baking to crystallize the pine sap.

Around the Wreath

Once you have gone all the way around the wreath, glue the end of the burlap in place and cut off the excess. This will help the pine cones and acorns adhere to the wreath.
