Pine Cone Christmas Decoration

Pine cone Christmas decoration

In our garden we have a Scots Pine tree, a few weeks ago I picked up all the large (15cm/6ins) pine cones that had dropped on the ground. Now I'm making the cones into Christmas decorations, very easy and very cheap. First of all, with my handy Dremel, I drilled a hole in the top of the cone, to pass wire through for hanging. Using ordinary household emulsion I painted the cone white. While the paint was still wet I sprinkled white glitter on the cone, just to give it that touch of sparkle. When the cones were dry I added ribbon bows to finnish them off.

What lovely ideas you have on your blog and how very, very generous to share them. I am, at present, making the angels from clothespegs and loving them. I shall blog about them in due course and link to you. THANK YOU.

Dear Anjie,

that´s such a beautiful crafty project! Easy to make and effective! Great idea!

Oh lucky you Anjie to have a fir tree in your garden to make those wonderful decorations. They look stunning.

:)

There is a downside to a fir tree, the amount of pine needles it sheds!

Nice work, Anjie, a really nice work!

Thank you, like your blog too!
