What a great idea!. The balls and pinecone ornaments were very popular in the late 90s. I made several pinecones. (Wish I still had some of that fabric) The ladies who mentioned the folded squares and the appliqué pins are right on target. We used 3' squares to form the points, but I'd imagine this would depend on the size of the piece of styrofoam. Oddly enough, I just found a half-finished pinecone, pulled it out of my rug hooking bin, and here I thought I was so organized.

I made about 100 of the Styrofoam balls this year for Christmas. Putting all those pins in was hard on the finger tips but everyone loved them. The tree is done the same way. You can do it with Easter eggs as well. I don't remember what it was called but I found some balls similar to the Styrofoam balls and they were much easier to push pins in and didn't make that horrible sound when you pushed in the pins.

That tree is beautiful. I would say it is made with the same method as the pinecone ornaments. I made a couple of those last year. They are not difficult and they are really cute. I found a tutorial on YouTube for mine. I think this was the video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl-AKWkqw7A
I bought a couple of FQs to make mine as I didn't have any fabric that looked like pine cones.

Christmas trees
I am thinking of buying the pattern and was wondering if any of you had made these?
