Pine cones make a great addition to a rustic decor

Bring the outdoors inside for this beautiful Christmas decorating theme.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Decorate your tree with pinecones and berries. White lights work well on this tree since you are going for a neutral color scheme. A patchwork quilt or crocheted design would make a nice rustic tree skirt. Add woodland creature figurines under the tree. There are also many ornaments with moose or reindeer, which would work well on your rustic Christmas tree. A rustic star made of tin can work as your tree topper.
Step 2

Tie in your theme with a Grapevine or Pinecone wreath above your mantle. Use a suction cup to hang it in the center of a mirror, if you have one above the mantle. Rustic elements such as wrought iron candleholders or candleholders that look like logs can be placed on top of the mantle.
Step 3

For your dining centerpiece, use s basket full of acorns, pinecones and potpourri.
Step 4

When looking for pieces to accessorize your home, look for wooden, metal and wrought iron accents. Rustic stars and candle lanterns are good choices. So are hand sewn or crocheted items.
Step 5

When choosing scented candles, try outdoor aromas such as evergreen or mountain rain.
Step 6

Pine cone crafts are inexpensive, easy to make and will add a rustic touch to any part of your home. See the resource links below for some pine cone decorations you can make yourself.
