Handmade Pinecone

25


25 per hour - Virtual OK - Posted Nov 17, 2017

I will design a handmade pinecone like the one pictured. The materials used include a styrofoam egg, paper, pins, ribbon, and fake floral leaves. The color of the paper (i.e. pinecone spikes) can be any color you'd like or I would be happy to provide a couple color palette options for you to pick from. The floral leaves can also be adapted to match the color palette and could be exchanged for another topping type if you have something in mind. The ribbon allows for hanging the decoration.

It typically takes about 3 hours to make a 5" tall pinecone and about 2 hours for the 3" tall pinecone. There are larger styrofoam egg options (or alternative shapes such as a wreath) available, but these will certainly take more time. There are also smaller options if you'd prefer.

I will accept exchanges or simbi for a pinecone, but ask that you pay shipping.

Training & Qualifications


I made around 10 of these as Christmas gifts in 2014. The first couple were a pain getting started, but after that you kinda fall into the motion and it becomes enjoyable (unless you decide to do 10 within a couple days... then you start to lose feeling in your thumb).

Availability & Preferences


I'm usually free on week nights and weekends.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

About Amanda Kraft

I'm a neuroscientist by trade and a writer by heart. I work with human physiology data and machine learning to estimate various cognitive states. In my free time, I play with plants (mostly cacti and ...succulents), handmake cards for family and friends, engage my cats in battle of the wits with various random objects, and stroll around in nature, always with a camera in case I stumble upon interesting animals or insects. I love instrumental music, and have just recently started to learn cello. I'm also a huge fanatic of GISHWHES :)show more
