Suggested Family Activity 🎍 Pinecone Christmas Ornament

Published by Library Staff on

To make a beautiful natural ornament for your tree, just pick up a pinecone on your next walk.  First, tie a piece of string or yarn to the top to be the hanger.  Next, paint the tips of the pinecone with craft glue and sprinkle glitter on the glue while it is wet.  After the glue has dried, the ornament is ready to hang!  For a more colorful ornament, you could substitute acrylic paint (thinned out with a little water) for the glue.  You could also add other small decoration that might fit into the crevices of the pinecones such as silver balls (like the ones used for cake decorating), sequins, pom-poms, or small beads.
