Trust me once you start this project you will be hooked and you won't stop until all your pine cones are decorated! It's highly addictive and great fun to do on a cold winters eve.
You will need:
- an assortment of pine cones (dried)
- acrylic paint - I chose a selection of pearlised paint and glitter glue to coordinate
- glitter glue
- vase - for decoration
1. Paint the tips of the pine cones in the acrylic paint. The pine cones naturally have a visible outline on the top and bottom on each tip, which I used as a guide.
2. Allow to dry and add glitter glue over the top of each tip for added sparkle.
3. Repeat for all colours and allow to dry.
4. Once complete you can chose how to display. For the time-being we chose a glass vase but the long term plan is to have them threaded on string.
This was a great way to spend an evening, relaxing and catching up with my mum over Christmas and great fun too!
