I created simple pine bows filled with pinecones and framed them in red and white. The red bow sets off the project and makes me think of my mother's flower shop filled with pine during the holiday. She created wreaths, bows and arches with beautiful red velvet floral ribbon. The whole shop looked like old fashioned Christmas. Making this today reminded me of how much I loved working with my mother in her shop and how much I still miss her today.
If you would like to see how I made my pinecones please come over to my blog and check out the tutorial I posted today. They are really easy to make and add so much dimension to the punched pine foliage.

Kittie, this is a WOW! Love your pine spray with the little teeny pine cones. The red framing sets it all off so beautifully. And the multi-looped bow is perfect.
