Pine Cone Skier

Today is a beautiful snowy day in my part of the world, so I have been inspired to share these festive pine cone skiers with you...

To create you will need

Acorn

Felt

Embroidery floss

Pine cone

Pipe cleaner

Birchbark

Toothpicks

Blue gun & glue

Sparkles

To begin wrap your pipe cleaner around your pine cone to create little arms

Cut out your  felt pieces ~ mittens, scarf, a rectangle (for your hat), feet and your circles for your ski poles.

Cut your skies out of birchbark

Wrap your felt around the acorn head, add a dab of glue and seal.

Tie your embroidery floss around the hat and knot.

Cut your tassels

Brush the scales with glue and sprinkle on your glitter 

Glue together

and 

Voila!

These fun folk shall be skiing down our tree and across our nature table all winter long.

As well, a wee warning ~ in the hands of a child they seem to zoom all over the house, up down and all around ~ who could resist ; )!

Wishing you warmth and wonder this season
