DIY Christmas Project: Christmas Pine Cones

I know this isn't food or health related but I really wanted to shared my little project. Since I love the holiday season I decided to do a few DIY projects and this is one of many. It is really simple and involves only a few items which makes it really cost effective as well. I wanted to do more of a winter theme, so I included silvers and baby blues ect. of course you could do a more literal christmas theme with green and red pine cones or even red and gold sparkly pine cones which I may try myself. The choice is yours, be creative, innovative and make it your own :)

What You'll Need: 

pine cones

a variety of spray paint ( I used silver, white, baby blue,pink and purple) 

glitter

a bowl

something to cover your work space with ( I used a very large piece of paper) 

latex gloves 

a glass vase 

This project is really simple, take your pine cones and spray them each individual colour. To add the glitter I just put the pine cones in a bowl and sprinkled the glitter on once they were in there to contain the mess. I didn't put glitter on all of them just a few. 

Tips: 

Wear latex gloves or else your hands get extremely messy. I had 5 separate pairs of gloves ( a different pair for each colour). 

Make sure your work space is well covered or else you will make a huge mess. 

Do two coats on each pine cone to ensure full coverage. 

Give the pine cones a solid amount of dry time ( approx. 20 mins) between each coat and at least a couple hours total before putting them in the vase.
