Pinecone Angel Nature Craft
Project Instructions:
1. Choose a pinecone with open petals and a flat bottom that will stand up fairly straight when placed on a table.
2. You can use two dried leaves as the angel's wings, or four leaves, as shown in the photo. If you use four leaves, glue them together in pairs, using small dots of white glue between the leaves. If desired, protect the leaves with a coating of decoupage medium or spray sealer, or decorate with gold spray paint.
Glue the leaves in place at the back of the pinecone, near the top where you will be placing the angel's head.
3. Paint the wooden disk or wooden ball in flesh toned paint and let dry. Draw on the facial features in pencil, then trace over the pencil marks in fine tipped black permanent marker. If desired, add pink cheeks using a small dab of pink marker, or a small smudge of pink blush makeup or pink lipstick.
4. Glue small pieces of sheet moss all around the edge of the wooden disk, or all around the face on a wooden ball.
5. Cut a small length of gold rickrack, gold cord or even thin gold wire and form this into a circular halo at the top of the angel's head. Secure with a dab of glue at the back.
6. If necessary, break off a petal or two at the top of the pinecone to make room for the angel's head. Glue the head in place.
7. If you wish to hang the angel from a Christmas tree or in the window, tie a length of invisible thread or fish line to one of the pinecone petals near the head, at the back.

Very cool craft indeed! Also an excellent site I keep stumbling on. I recomend putting the pinecones in plastic bags and freezing them first, just incase theres still bugs in them. Thanks for the idea!
