Oh Martha Monday - Pinecones

It's finally starting to feel like fall around here.  The weather's cooling down, the days are shorter, and there's a plethora of pinecones to be found!  The boys and I have been collecting pinecones every time we're at a park or in the vicinity of a pine tree.  I spray painted a few, but still need to figure out what to do with them...

Here are some Pinecone Craft ideas from Martha Stewart~

Have you been collecting pinecones?  What are you planning on doing with them?
