Fun, Easy & Pretty DIY Glitter Pine Cones!
Thursday, July 9th, 2009Hi All!
So sorry for the quiet week on the blog. I’ve been super busy (in a good way!). I am somewhat back to my regular schedule and wanted to post this super easy how-to project. Keep in mind, this works great with mini pumpkins, leaves, funky gourdes or really just about anything. The trick is to use a LIGHT COATING of SPRAY ADHESIVE (NOT white or paste glue) and SUPERFINE GLITTER (not the chunky glitter that kids use). Seriously folks, I can’t say it enough – a LIGHT coating of adhesive or you’ll surely wind up with a mess. Remember to spray outside. It’s super smelly and super-er sticky.
Step one: gather up your spray adhesive, newspaper, glitter and whatever it is you’re glittering. Pour glitter into a large ziplock bag.
Step two: Spray pinecones with a light coating of spray adhesive using the newspaper to protect the surface below. Seriously, the concrete will be sticky forever if you don’t protect it. Make sure you cover all sides of your object. 
Step Three: Place pine cones in ziplock bag, zip it up and shake! 
Voila! Done and oh so pretty!
