Rustic Pine Cone Decor Wall Sculpture

The item I would like to talk about today are my Rustic Pine Cone Decor wall sculpture. My Etsy shop originally just featured my Electric Hurricane Lanterns but since opening in summer of 2012 I've added many different items that I personally make.


Rustic Pine Cone Decor Wall Sculpture Introduced

These rustic pine cone decor wall sculptures use all natural materials. First I start with the wood base. Each piece I made are from reclaimed wood from furniture I built years ago but no longer needed. These boards help add to the rustic charm with their screw holes, aged look, etc. I then add pine cones from White Pines that grow on my property, acorns from oak trees, and pine needles from those same white pines. Finally, I preserve the items by coating them so that they will last for years and years. Each pine cone decor sculpture has a picture frame hook on the back so that they can hang from a wall. They are also sturdy enough to sit upon a fireplace mantel. Place one on each side for a really nice display!




The Idea For These Rustic Pine Cone Decor Sculptures


In 2008 I moved into my first house. When putting together my living room I wanted a rustic charm to it. So during my first weekend there I went outside and grabbed some stuff that was native to my property. I made two pine cone decor wall sculptures. Now they were different then what is currently in my Etsy shop but I made them with the same process. Today they still hang from my walls and look really cool. They really do add that rustic and country living charm to any room.

From An Idea To A Product


A year ago my life took a turn for the worse and I no longer had income coming in. My Etsy shop was a few months old and although making sales it wasn't enough to cover my bills. I became very fearful that I was not going to be able to pay my mortgage anymore and end up losing it all. I had to get creative and add to my shop. That’s when I saw the pine cone decor display on my wall and came up with an idea. I collected as many pine cones as possible and went into my pile of wood that was from some old furniture I cut apart and began to make these pine cone decor sculptures.



My plan is to sell these out and not make any more. My ultimate goal is to only feature Electric Hurricane Lanterns in my shop. You can get access to these pine cone decor pieces in my Etsy shop here.
