Christmas Spirit Of Pine Cone Ornaments

Pine cone ornament can be a great craft project activity to do together with kids in winter with the Christmas spirit. It has simple ways but has good result.

Materials needed:

Pine cones with stems as much as you have
Green and Silver glitter with any color combination.
Elmer’s white school glue
Some fishing line or ribbon
Shoe box or plate
Scissors

After the craft materials complete, now follow the steps below:

Pick your theme colors.
Each color you choose should be represents the moment. Silver and blue represent ice and snow, silver and gold represent the song from Rudolf ‘Silver and Gold’, and red and green is the classic Christmas colors. Once you’ve made a color selection make a trip to your local craft store to purchase Elmer’s white school glue, glitter, and fishing line or ribbon can be a good stuff.

• Take a plate or shoe box and put it under your pine cone.
• Squirt some glue onto the pine cone and use your finger to spread it on each of the pine cone layers (except for the stem).
• Shake glitter lightly, a little of one color and then the other, over the pine cone letting the loose glitter fall onto your plate or box to reuse later.
• Take your ribbon or fishing line and tie it around the pine cone stem.

After it’s knotted to the stem bring the two end pieces of the string together and knot them so that you have a full loop now and then hang it on something (out of your child’s reach so it doesn’t get touched). Let dry for an hour or so and finally let the kids hang it on your Christmas tree.

Extra steps:
If you wanted you could also hot glue some matching beads onto the pine cone. You could even hot glue a key ring to the back of it to make a cute wall hanging instead of stringing it. Lastly, you could curl some ribbon with your scissors and tie the ribbon spirals around the stem for an extra touch.
