Creating texture on the pine-cone scales

To make the scales look textured and properly “alive”, start with a gentle blend of browns and greens. Begin with a deeper shade at the base of each scale, then softly smudge it out towards a lighter tone at the tip. It’s a small trick, but it instantly adds depth and a more realistic finish. Coloured pencils or crayons work beautifully for this, and if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, watercolour pencils can give you a more lively, painterly look once you add a touch of water.

You can also sprinkle in some sparkle using a gold or silver metallic pen on the scales and ribbons. It’s subtle, but it catches the light and makes certain areas pop in a really festive way—like a little wink of tinsel.

Quick tips for coloring
How do the scales of a pine cone form?

The scales develop as the seeds inside the cone mature, and the cone hardens to protect them. If you look closely at the cone’s shape, you’ll notice the scales follow a pattern called phyllotaxis, which lines up with a mathematical sequence (the Fibonacci sequence). This clever arrangement helps each seed receive sunlight and allows the cone to grow in the most efficient way.


Where do Christmas ornaments come from?

The tradition of decorating trees goes back to 16th-century Germany. At first, people used natural items like fruit, nuts and—yes—pine cones, long before artificial ornaments such as glass baubles were created.
