Get inspired by this fun, eco-friendly project and brighten up your home this spring with cute mini pinecone bees! This low-waste craft is perfect for nature lovers and adds a whimsical touch to your space using simple materials like small pinecones, embroidery thread, and bits of paper.
To make these mini pinecone bees, just wrap yellow embroidery thread around the scales of the pinecone to create those signature stripes. Cut out tiny paper wings, fold them for a 3D effect, and glue or tie them on. You can leave the thread ends long to hang your bees as part of a spring garland or wreath, or attach them to cards with washi tape for a charming “Bee Mine” Valentine’s Day gift. It is a simple, satisfying way to repurpose nature’s finds into adorable handmade decor!
