PineCone Decorating the Christmas Tree

Hubby & I bought a new Christmas Tree from Michaels on sale in Nov. We had a pre-lit clear-color tree and it was bushy and stuck out far from the wall. We wanted a pre-lit multi-color that was not so bushy as the tree we had so it would not stick out far from the wall. Former tree had pinecones on it making it look more realistic. New tree did not have any pinecones. Bought the last dozen pinecone decorations from Michaels a few weeks later. Hubby put the tree up yesterday and today added the pinecones. So, now our new multi-color tree looks wonderful and more realistic with the pinecones added.

3 Pinecones on a plastic stem:
