What to do with those pinecones?!?!?

Up here in the mountains we have mounds of pine cones.  We have more pine cones than we have blades of grass.  So... I got to thinking that we should put those cones to good use!  But how? 
Who knows best about these things other than Martha Stewart.  Here is one projest she suggested!

Pinecone Picture-Frame Ornaments

Step 1

Remove pinecone scales with small floral clippers

Step 2

Glue a photograph or photocopy of a picture onto card stock. Using a template for a circle or other shape (you can make it yourself or buy one at a crafts store), outline the shape onto your photograph with a pencil; cut out. Hot-glue pinecone scales around perimeter at the back of the cutout, so the scales peek from behind the edge. Alternatively, you can glue scales onto the front of the cutout photograph. Finish the ornament with decorative paper glued to the back with a few dots of craft glue. Glue a looped length of ribbon between backing paper and photo to make a hanger

easy as that!!
