Before I got to the cardboard, I made a few sketches of the object itself. Then I sketched out a few ideas on how each segment of the pinecone might constructed out of my material.
After the initial planning, I created a stem out of long sheet of cardboard. After wetting the material, it easily rolled into an effective pinecone stem. The next step involved cutting petals shapes of other pieces of cardboard. This was the most time consuming part of the project so far. I tested several different ways of layering the petals before starting to glue them into place.
So far the pinecone is coming along nicely. I am now concentrating on adjusting the undersides of the glued on petals and attaching the remaining ones to the stem.
