Fresh white flowers and greenery make a surprisingly wintry effect, minus the chill. White dove ornaments combine with amaryllis, carnations, and orchids on a Tannenbaum that's sprayed white.
Create a pinecone tree on a cone-shaped foam base. Anchor the base in a container, then wire the cones onto 2" wooden floral picks. Insert picks downward into the foam, starting at the bottom with the largest cones and working to the top with the smaller ones. Conceal the foam by tucking sheet moss among the pinecones.
To make cookie ornaments, use ready-made dough — it's sturdier than homemade. Knead in 2/3 cup flour until smooth to increase dough's density, making it suitable for ornaments. Roll dough, cut shapes, make holes for hanging, and then bake. Use royal icing to pipe dots and outlines on your cookies, and add dragees for the perfect holiday feel.
Tie individual pinecones, gilded or left plain, to ribbons of varying lengths. Suspend them from a dining-room chandelier for a dramatic effect, or hang them from an outdoor porch light. Give a gift of a dozen pinecone ornaments — a mix of gold and silver, perhaps — in a simple egg carton, a perfect storage container.
