\n\"pine_cone\"
\nYou will need a pair of sharp nipping pliers and a hot glue gun for this box. The materials for this box can be easily found if there are pine trees near by. Just resist the urge to trespass or cut up your neighbors shrubbery.
\nMake sure the cones and sprigs of pine are clean, dry and free from bugs. If you can’t find the pine cones or boughs in the wild they can usually be found in craft stores. Most arts and crafts shops carry a variety of cones both natural and artificial, as well as artificial pine boughs.
\nPull the needles from the bottom 1\/2 inch of each pine sprig so that the glue will have a place to stick and the cone will have a clear bed. <\/p>\n

The artificial cones and pine are not necessarily a bad thing because the natural pine boughs tend to dry out and shed the needles after a few weeks.
\nThe natural pine may only last 3 or 4 weeks so plan ahead.<\/p>\n
