I mentioned here that we painted some pinecones this last weekend, well, we also glittered some up while we were at it. We had a plethora of pinecones because M+L love finding "treasures" on our walks. And I have to admit finding and bringing home pinecones makes the walk feel a little bit more like an adventure for me too. I made this little garland out of our glittered ones and I am thinking it's going to be my inspiration for decorating this year: simple with a little sparkle.
What you need: Pinecones / glitter & glue or paint / string
What you do: Glitter pinecone edges with glue and glitter (or painting them works too), let dry over night and then tie string to the tips of the pinecones and string them up. Enjoy xo
I love this idea! So simple and easy, but it really looks great! So nice to discover your gorgeous blog! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm going for simple, elegant decoration too this year. Love this, Christine!

I like this idea of simple holiday decor, but not forgetting the sparkle! Super cute pine cones from your adventures :)
ReplyDeleteit's not quite a proper holiday season without a little sparkle i say!
DeleteSweet, simple, delicate (and of course a touch of sparkle)!

What a cute garland...I love the polka dot tape too!
ReplyDeleteAha! A craft within my skill level. I love pinecones, and I totally get why your wee ones love to collect them. They are my favorite seasonal decor item. And hey, who doesn't love some glitter? Did you watch Project Runway this past season? I can't remember if you're a fan or not. Anyway, this gif seems apropos: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_marhhumBsY1rdkmnho1_500.gif
ReplyDeletehaha, ask my older son, fisher if i like project runway. he has a particular sigh dedicated to when i have the remote in my hand and see a runway marathon on tv. you learn something new with every re-run i say. love the link!! xo (i am so glad he won btw, i adored him). xoxo
DeleteWOW! This is adorable!I love decoration garlands with pineconeS!!Is really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty. Love!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea!! Me and the boys need to make this happen this weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe did this project with the kids on our last camping trip, and they loved it. Never thought to string them together and make garland. You're so clever.
ReplyDelete"I have to admit finding and bringing home pinecones makes the walk feel a little bit more like an adventure for me too." So true! We collect sticks and leaves on our walks.
How adorable! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the garland. Love the woodsy feel of it coupled with the glamor of the glitter. We have tons of pines here (sometimes I feel like fall will never come because there are so many!), so I could maybe manage to pull this off...if I were at all crafty... ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute and SO SMART. I may steal this DIY :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this! Just a touch of sparkle for the holidays. So rustic and yet still fun! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet.. This is my kind of craft!
ReplyDeleteThat looks very nice :)
