Pinecone Christmas Tree Decoration
Materials
- Pinecones
- Green Craft Paint
- Paintbrush
- Liquid Glue (like white school glue)
- Glitter
- Pom Poms
- Additional Embellishments
Let’s make it!
If using pinecones collected from outdoors, give them a quick rinse and shake to remove dirt & debris. Let dry completely.
Paint the whole pinecone with the green paint. Clean the brush and allow to dry completely.
I find that the craft paints tend to dry fast so there may not be a huge wait!
Use the clean paint brush to brush glue onto the tips of each “leaf”
Decorate with the pom poms, glitter and other cool embellishments you may have!
Try using some string as garland.
Idea* – Make a bunch, tie some string (or use an ornament hook) on the top of the pinecones.
String them onto (or hook) a larger string or ribbon to create a garland strand of decorated pinecones!
