    How to Make Painted DIY Pine Cone Christmas Ornaments

    Pine cones have the unique ability to capture my attention and make me dream of all the pine cone craft possibilities.

    Pine cones are easy to clean, it's fun to spray paint pinecones with different colors, and they can be made into hundreds of different projects from DIY pinecones wreaths to homemade pinecone garlands and more.

    Let's talk about Christmas ornaments!

    With a dab of hot glue and a small section of twine, you can make a DIY pine cone Christmas ornament in mere minutes!

    And the bonus is you can make them in any color to match whatever decor theme you want.

    Here's how to make them!

    Step 2. Cut twine into 10" sections.

    Step 3. Glue twine to back of pine cone.

    Put a dab of hot glue on the underside of one of the pine cone sections near the top.

    Fold your twine section in half, and place the loop into the glue.

    The beauty of these pine cone ornaments is they can be painted in whatever colors you want to match your decor or color scheme. (My favorites are metallics!)

    And they're so easy to make, you don't have to stress if little kiddo hands want to touch and explore them, because you can always make more. 

    All it takes is some clean, dry pine cones that have been spray painted your color(s) of choice, and a bit of hot glue and twine to make these pine cone Christmas tree ornaments for your family's tree.

    P.S. If you don't live in an area where you can find pine cones on the ground, you can buy them instead.
