Turn a pocketful of fall pinecones into this pretty tabletop tableau -- "ugly" duckling and all.

What you'll need

  • Pipe cleaners
  • Toothpicks
  • Orange marker
  • Tacky glue
  • Googly eyes
  • Pinecones
  • Feathers

How to make it

  1. Swans a-Swimming - Step 1

    For each, bend a piece of pipe cleaner (a 12-inch piece for the adult, 6-inch for a chick) into the shape shown.

  2. To add a beak, color the end of a toothpick with orange marker, cut it off, and use tacky glue to attach it to the head coil. Glue on a set of googly eyes.

  3. To finish, glue a pinecone to the pipe cleaner base, then glue feathers to the pinecone.
