Pinecones are nature’s masterpiece! We love searching for the most perfectly shaped one when we go on hikes, do you? Did you know that pinecones are also fantastic for arts and crafts any time of the year but of course, we think of them in the fall most often! I always have a bowl of pinecones handy for art projects of all kinds like this colorful pinecone sun catcher craft.
