Pinecone Wreath and Candle Ring

Bring the Outdoors In with a Pinecone Wreath and Candle Ring – Made with Cardstock! 🍂🕯️

As the holidays draw near, I get the itch to create cozy decor that warms up our home—and this year, I wanted to make something extra special: matching pinecone wreaths and candle rings made completely from card stock using my Cricut! Yep, paper pinecones! And let me tell you, they look so good you might do a double-take.

I’ve always loved having candle rings on the table during the holidays. There’s something about that little extra touch that makes everything feel more festive and intentional. So I thought—why not design my own set with a rustic, woodland vibe?

A Touch of Nature, Made with Paper 🍃

These pinecone-themed pieces bring together all the best parts of fall and winter—pinecones, pine needles, acorns, and even dried orange slices—but without the mess. It’s a charming way to bring the outdoors in, with all the beauty and none of the cleanup!

I made my candle ring to fit around a 4-inch round flameless candle, but you can easily resize it in Design Space to fit whatever candle you want to use. Want to give it a bit more dimension? Try gluing it to a foam ring with the center cut out—super easy and adds that sturdy, professional touch.

Get Crafty with Color and Texture 🎨

One of my favorite parts of this project was playing with color. Try layering different shades of brown, beige, and greenfor a more natural, lifelike effect. I even mixed in textured and metallic cardstock to make the pinecones and leaves pop just a little more. It’s amazing how a few paper details can completely transform a table or a door.

Decorate for Thanksgiving and Christmas 🎄🦃

These wreaths and candle rings are versatile enough to use all season long. Add one to your Thanksgiving table centerpiece or dress up your Christmas mantel. You could even add a little faux snow or holly berries to winterize it!

Whether you’re crafting for your home or making handmade gifts, this is such a rewarding project. With just a little card stock and a Cricut, you’ll have a gorgeous handmade piece that’s full of rustic charm.

So pull out your paper stash, warm up your glue gun, and get crafting—your holiday table is about to get a lot more magical!
