This is by far one of the easiest crafts to do to bring a little shine to your tree. It takes about five minutes and 0 skill. I had this spray glitter lying around from whatever craft I did in the past.
I took some pinecones, my glitter spray, and a piece of parchment paper and went crazy outside. It took about 2 minutes to dry, and they’re super glittery.
Unfortunately my photography skills are lacking, and I have found that I have an inability to catch how pretty the glitter is. It is a fine dusting of iridescence.
There are a few other ways to do glitter as well. If you don’t have glitter spray hanging around, you can manually apply glue, and then stick the pinecone in a paper bag. Shake it like shake-n-bake chicken, and voila! Glitter pinecone.
I’d finish about 10 of these for the $25 Christmas Tree to look successful, all around.
So far, we have 2 other ornaments. Tomorrow, we tackle a very pretty garland!
