I’ve always loved pine cones, especially during the holidays. During the fall I buy the cinnamon scented cones and place them in wicker baskets through out the house and for Christmas, we sometimes use them as ornaments. This season, I decide to give the pine cones a glittery makeover a litte early, and place them in glass bowls on our table for Thanksgiving. Then afterwards, I will hang them on our tree. See the easy to make tutorial below.
Supplies:
5-6 decorative cinnamon scented pine cones
White glue
White iridescent glitter
Red and white twine
Instructions:
Tie a strand of twine around the bottom of the pine cone.
Using paper plates, fill one with glue and one with glitter.
Dip the pinecone first in the glue, then in the glitter, rolling it around to cover all of the ends.
Let it dry.
Place glitter pinecones in a glass bowl or hang the pine cones on your tree.

I love pine cone ornaments. I used to make them with my students every year and this post reminds me that I’ve never done it with my own kiddos. My daughter and son would have lots of fun helping decorate these. I guess we will be making some pine cone ornaments this year!
