Christmas is just around de corner
Lovely Pine Cone Wreath
{My inspiration for this project was Eddie Ross‘ ornament wreath (if you haven’t checked it out, I strongly recommend you to; it’s beautiful and easy). }
Supplies:
50 small sized pine cones.
Craft paint (your choice of color).
Wire rings (available at craft supply stores).
A hanger.
A paintbrush.
Hot glue gun.
Ribbons.
How to:
Paint your pine cones (you can go natural too if you wish).
I chose a silver tone for my decorations, so that’s what I used to paint them.
I only painted the tips. (I spent a wonderful afternoon with my mom and daughter doing this 😉
{They’re lovely just like this.}
Hot glue the wire rings to the top of the pine cone.
Bend the hanger into a circle.
Untwist the end of the hanger and string one pine cone at a time.
Twist the hanger again to close the circle.
Hot glue a ribbon to cover the hook end of the hanger.
Make a simple bow out of color coordinating ribbons.
Hot glue it to the wreath.
Enjoy!
I’m liking this so much, I’m thinking about making a few to give as presents to my family and friends. I seriously can’t stop staring at it: my first Xmas wreath!
Best of all: easy on my pocket, easy on the environment. Cool!
