Instructions
1. Tear off the first few rows of the pinecone to give it a flat base.
2. Twist the eyebolt into the now flat bottom of the pinecone.
3. Cut a long piece of twine, and tie it through the circular hole of the eyebolt and again at the end of the twine. This is how you'll hang your decoration.
4. Loop the roll of twine around your hand until you have multiple layers. Cut the end with the scissors.
5. Cut a small piece of twine, and tie it to the bottom of your layered twine piece, and then cut the opposite end so you've created fringe.
6. With pliers or cutters, cut off the tip of the pinecone, so that end is also now flat.
7. Glue the twine fringe to the bottom of the pinecone.

8. Glue the moss to the top of the pinecone near the eyebolt.
9. Set the decoration inside a drinking glass, so it stands up straight. Insert the succulent stems into the moss — don't just glue it on top of the moss.
10. Surround the succulents with more moss once they're secured to the pinecone.
