Painted Pine Cones

This is a super simple project to be done with the kids. Take the kids for a walk and gather some pine cones from under the trees on the streets. Let them grab their paints and paint brush & have some fun painting.

What you'll Need

Pine Cones
Paint
Paint Brush
Glitter Glue (optional)
Beads (optional)


Method

  1. Collect the fallen pine cones from under the trees by the end of autumn before it gets all covered with snow.
  2. Grab different colors of paint and using a regular paint brush, give 2 coats of paint on each pine cone.
  3. Let them dry completely.
  4. Use glitter glue and beads to decorate (optional)
  5. Use them to decorate the home for Christmas or however you desire.


Note
  1. Collect pine cones that are not broken & free of dirt.
  2. Kids' paint works well on these pine cones.
  3. Always use glitter once the paint is dried completely. Else, the glitter will get the color of the paint.
