Frosty Tipped Pinecones

     There is nothing like the holidays to bring out my crafty side.  I took some time this year to do a little holiday crafting with the daycare kiddos (sorry, no homemade gifts this year).  I have a few different projects that we did and will hopefully be sharing.  First up are frosty tipped pinecones.

Frosty Tipped Pinecones
Supplies:
Pinecones
White paint
Glitter
2 plates


1. Gather supplies.

2.  Place a generous amount of paint and glitter on plates or other flat surface.  Holding onto the bottom of the pinecone, twirl it in the paint until all the tips are coated with paint.

 3.  Once all tips are coated in paint, you twirl the pinecone in the glitter covering all the paint with glitter.

 4.  Let dry.

Finished product.

By the batch.

     A few notes about this craft.  You can use any color paint to do the tips, I just liked the white because it was snow-like.  I also used a sparkly white glitter, but again you can use any color to get a more festive arrangement.  You can even use the scented ones from the craft store to add a little more of a holiday touch to them.  As a final note, I created these as ornaments for the kids by adding a string of yarn to the top but they are so quick and easy to make that you could quickly make a batch and put them out as decorations.
