Nature Meets Christmas: The Charm of Vintage Pinecone Images
There’s really nothing like the smell of pine to put me in the holiday spirit. I also loved making pinecone crafts with my daughter when she was little. Sometimes we smeared peanut butter on them and dipped them in birdseed to hang in the trees as a snack for birds. Other times, I gave her beads and sequins and let her decorate them like mini Christmas trees.
I’ve always believed that the simplest natural elements evoke the most warmth, especially when paired with the magic of Christmas. These vintage pinecone illustrations, sourced from antique botanical journals, offer exactly that blend of cozy rustic beauty and seasonal elegance. They bring an outdoorsy, woodland touch to holiday crafts, inviting a sense of calm and nostalgic wonder into your pages.
To make crafting with them seamless, these images are formatted into:
2.5” × 3.5” ATCs – perfect for layering, tuck spots, or embellishing journal pages
Gift tags – ready to print, punch, and pair with twine for a woodland-style gift touch
2.5” x 3.5” ATCs
