Pinecone crafts

Since Miles likes to collect pinecones, I am in need of some form of crafts that I can do with him with them.
When I think of pinecones, I think of Christmas, so I am thinking that Christmas related projects might be good for him. It gives me plenty of time to get them done.
So if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, (please post suggestions on comments).
