As we all know, pine corns open themselves when the moisture dries out, so at the end they might look like that:

Your pinecones make great ornaments! They really look nice! How did you attach the string to hang them from the tree?
Thanks! I was lucky, because those pine corns had a short section of stem left, so I tied string to it. I have another post though, where pine corns have smooth back. I thought of using a wire there... But haven't finished them yet.
It's a lot easier when there's a stem. Thanks for answering and have a great 2017!
