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.
This is such a cute little craft and surrprisingly easy.
We have been creating this TREE for a lot of years in our Scout Troop. We have a craft fair each year and this has become a top seller. The girls are very creative in their use of decorations on the "tree". WE have also painted, glittered & glued various items!
this sounds great! mrs smitheres needed a craft idea and this sounds great! im exited to try it
I love this idea! I am Girl Scout Daisy Troop leader and have been looking for a holiday craft project gifts for my Daisy Troop (all kindergarteners) to make for a local senior citizens center for Christmas. This is going to be fun and fantastic. I live in an area with alot of pine cone trees so this is perfect! I especially love the idea someone submitted of using old cd's for the base!
I volunteer at a Senior Center and this will make the perfect inexpensive gift to give the seniors at Christmas. Thanks
i like this site very much
I tried this with my class and they loved doing it. I sprayed the cones with silver and gold instead of green spray paint. We also put colorful sequins and glitter on along with beads. We put a gold star sequin on top. We glued ours on canning lids painted white with puff balls on top for snow.They looked great!
great idea
i love the idea its soooooooooooo CUTE!
This is a good idea. It is short, simple, and cute!
