One of the most alluring things about pine cones to me is the unexpected twist they put on classic holiday decorations. They can be used in place of typical greenery, everybody has that! When crafted in a traditional way they can make a space feel warm and cozy. Ribbon on the ends is a nice touch, like the velvet used above.
