Use a flower punch to punch flowers from Christmas cards of coordinating colors (we looked for browns, creams, golds, oranges, and reds). Trim the punched-out flowers in half, and then in half again so you're left with individual petals. Start at the bottom of a 1-7/8x2-1/2-inch Styrofoam egg and hot glue petals on in rows, overlapping as you move up
Don't sweat it if the hot-glue melts the foam a bit. It will give the pinecone a natural uneven texture.
