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.
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!
wow that was really fun! its really easy too!
that is a very neat project
You can also just paint the tips white and add glitter glue and instead of using a bottle cap you can hot glue the pine cone to old cd's and then paint it with glitter to make it look like snow. Kids love it
this is awseme!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how brilliant!!! I can use my left over beads.
This is absolutely fantastic as it is fun for kids to find pine cones in the park and painting is great fun aswell !!!
