Someone gave me a whole box of pine cones. Anyone have any ideas of what I could make other than the usual wreaths?

You could make some pinecone firestarters. These would be a great gift for those you know with fireplaces.

Thanks for all your suggestions ladies. Here's what I ended up making. A grapevine bell, with pinecone angels glued around the sides, topped off with Christmas ribbon.
