Use the scissors to cut out a few dried hortensia flowers and glue each one in the open spots between the blue pine cones, around the outer edge of of the flower. They’ll look a bit like leaves and they’ll fill in these gaps in a really nice way.
If you look at a pinecone you’ll notice that it sort of has two halves. The bottom one looks a bit more dense and has a sort of dome shape and the top bit looks a bit more like a flower with its petal spread out. Cut off the top section from each pine cone. You may need to cut off a few extra smaller bits in order to flatten them out so you can glue them onto the board and so they look more like flowers in the end.

The single bottom pinecone piece will placed in the middle and will represent the center of the flower where all the pollen is found. So take this piece and paint it yellow. The side that’s going to be glued onto the board doesn’t need to be painted but make sure all the visible sides are yellow.

Use the creme-colored acrylic paint to cover the front of the oval board. This will create a smooth and nice backdrop for all the pine cones once you add them. The light creme color contrasts with the other nuances and compliments them in a subtle way.

Next, put a dab of hot glue onto the bottom of each blue pinecone and place them all around the yellow center. Before you add the glue you might want to just set the pine cones in place and make sure you spread them out evenly. 
Take the yellow pinecone, put some hot glue onto the unpainted bottom surface and gently press it onto the board at the center.
