Cardboard Project

The project starts:

These will be the pinecone spikes.

This is the base

 This is another shot of the base

 This was my first idea for the pine spikes

 The subject.

I covered the base in this stripped cardboard to give it texture.

 The inside of the base

 The first attempt for the base

 Too tall.

Finished project

Better idea for the spikes. I ended up cutting slits in the stripped cardboard to fit the ends inside to make spikes.
