Glittery Pinecone Decorations
These pinecone decorations are a quick and easy craft which children of all ages
- even the youngest - will enjoy. My son made one of these when he was two
year's old and we still proudly put it on the tree every year now that he is
fourteen!
You will need:
Pinecones
Pipe cleaners (chenille stems)
White glue (PVA)
Paintbrush
Glitter
Glitter glue (optional)
Wrap a pipe cleaner around the pipe cleaner and form the top into a rough
hook shape so that you can hang your finished decoration on the tree.
Now paint the edges of the pinecone with PVA glue, stand the pinecone on a
paper plate of newspaper, and sprinkle with glitter. If you are doing this with
a large group of children you can put the glitter out into bowls and dip the
pinecones into it, which will give heavier coverage.
Alternatively, put dollops of glitter glue all over the pinecone. This is the
less messy option, but it does take a long time to dry.
