How To Sell Pine Cones!

Ordinary pine cones, of any size, can be made to look almost

exactly like tiny owls simply by adding “eyes” which can be

purchased at any hobby or craft shop. The cute stylistic little

creatures can then be mounted on stained or burned plywood

plaques, a hanging device or hook added, and they sell like

hotcakes.

Mount the little birds on a small limb or twig, glue the whole

scene onto a plaque background of any kind, display them and

people will want them.

Sell them singly or in groups. Start with one large “mama” owl,

then add two or three “baby” owls for an attractive grouping.

They are cute.

Find an old limb with a knot hole, or an old board. Mount a

small bird just inside the hole, or on a twig just outside of

the hole. You have a scene people will love.

The idea of using natural products to make nature scenes appeals

to many people.

One person sells more of these than he and all of his grand kids

can turn out.

Combine cones, pods, twigs, old wood, boards, dried flowers and

leaves. Be creative and use your imagination. You can make

money from ordinary pine cones.
