Pine Cone Christmas Tree
Project Instructions:
1. Paint the pinecone completely green. If desired, you can add sparkle by dusting the pinecone with glitter while the paint is still wet. Alternatively, wait until the paint is dry, then randomly add glitter glue to the tips of the pinecone.
2. Glue the bottle cap to the bottom of the pine cone.
3. To add beads, small silk flowers or other Christmas embellishments, use tweezers to dip each piece into a small puddle of craft glue, then into a space on the pinecone. Make sure that you push each bead or embellishments firmly into place.
