Thanks Joan ..they look good but are on eggs ...i am sure the one i did was on a round styro ......mind you the eggs look real nice but i have a load of round styro balls ....i may just have to buy eggs ....x

I think the egg shape would give them more of the pinecone shape, but I've also seen them using the round styrofoam.

You could also use sequins (pinning each one, or glueing a sequin string around the ball). But then, they would be "ornament" not "pinecone."

ah yes thats more like it ...it twas the paper size i needed , i know it was one sheet of 12x12 paper but i just could not remember the cut size and the fold , i may just have to play ...i have a big bag of balls in the loft lol x

You could always make your own fun flock by grating the styrofoam balls over a bowl and adding a bit of dye to them. Here's a tutorial stating rubbing two cut styrofoam balls together and using re-inkers to color the flock:

You notice that I'm trying to keep you busy :D

I made some up with material of bright oranges, reds, rust. It was fall leaves. I made them for decorations for Thanksgiving. They turned out awsome!

Could you show us a picture? They sound great!

well i gathered my pins , balls and had to buy some 12x12 (long storey i have soo much paper and craft stuff but its all with my sister) and sat and played last night ...i will try to put some pictures up but tried 2 types of paper fold , both have worked so i am happy xx stand by later today i will try to post pictures but i am technically challenged lol :razz:

See Post #4 ;)

Have you tried them using different shades of the same color on the same ball (Ombr�)? That would be gorgeous! Or how about making spirals using two or four colors (it would definately take some thinking and planning!) on a third color background (like red and green on white, or yellow and lavendar on pink,etc.)?

Everyone on here is so utterly awesome with all the info. Love these links-so, thanks from me, too!

Here is a link to the ball ornament. It seems that is can also be called 'pineapple' style. This is with fabric but they mentioned that other materials can be used.

cmarmg,

Can you imagine what the fabric "pineapples" would look like in lame or the tissue lames? Or velvet? Ooooooooo!

And those Paper Pineapple Ornaments...look at the texture! Isn't it interesting that the paper points are upside down, showing the seam? It works!

One question asked and look how many projects we get! Much love to all the crafters on Splitcoaststampers! :mrgreen:

Oops! I meant cmargm...I tried to spell it from memory.

Thank you AllyB for giving us the opportunity to CASE more projects!
