It's decorating season again! That time of year where you decorate, put away, decorate, put away, and decorate again!
I have a daughter who loves her sparkles, and it inspired me to create a project we could do together and use as decorations for Halloween!
It started with a bunch of large pine cones, which you can gather from your yard, or purchase from the craft store for $5 (cinnamon smell included!)
The next step is to mix one bottle of regular glue with equal parts water...
Choose your sparkle colors...
Roll the pine cones in the glue mixture...you may employ the "ick I don't want to get messy" one finger method as Gigi is doing here...
And then you get to add the sparkles!
WARNING! You will get glitter everywhere despite precautions, so this might be a project for the outdoors!
Let them sit for a while to get dry...
It is suprisingly difficult to capture the gorgeous sparkletasticness of these pine cones with a camera...
Then it's time to decorate a tree!
You can use any kind of ribbon or string to hang the pine cones, the really tricky part is reaching the branches!
It was a VERY simple project...
But it was super fun!
And it's an inexpensive way to make your yard look festive!
Hello FALL!!!
I love it!!!!
