Back in November, my daughter and I made Thanksgiving turkeys from cinnamon-scented pinecones. Now as Christmas quickly approaches, she and I have been hard at work making Christmas crafts. One of our recent crafts was Christmas trees made from pinecones. She and I again used cinnamon-scented pinecones for some extra holiday cheer, but you can use plain pinecones as well.
Materials
- Pinecones
- Green paint
- Paintbrush
- Glue
- Small beads
Instructions
- Paint the pinecones with the green paint.
- Allow the paint to dry completely.
- Glue the small beads all over the painted pinecones. Use plenty of glue to ensure a tight bond.
- Allow the glue to dry completely.
- Display the pinecone Christmas trees.
