DIY Pine Cone Craft You’ll LOVE!
Made with items you can either find in nature (pinecones), the thrift store (frame), and any craft store (paints), this craft is easy and inexpensive to create and even the kids will LOVE to help out with this one! The full tutorial for this project can be found on the link at the bottom of the page, so be sure to read on, to learn how to make it! The directions will suggest either spray paint OR acrylic craft paint to add color to the pinecones, and since this is a great project to create, keeping in mind that we’re using recycled items, we suggest the paint (bottled acrylic) for the color option! Using a type of paint that can be done in the house and without fumes that the paint cans create is a great choice!
First, you’ll need to gather some pinecones (ideally from a pine tree, to keep the cost of the project down), or from your local craft store.You can also check out sites like ‘Amazon’, ‘Oriental Trading Co.’, or 'Discount School Supplies.com’ if you’re having trouble finding them in the stores or in nature. You can take this fun project a step further and incorporate a nature walk into the mix and have the kids help find pinecones, along the way!
Once you have the main ingredient, check out craft stores like ‘Michaels’, or the craft aisle of stores like ‘Target' or ‘Walmart’ for the acrylic paints and buy them in every color for a bright and colorful look, specific colors to match your home, or just one color for a classic and sophisticated look.
Last, stop into a thrift store or antique shop and find a beautiful frame! You can go with one, large frame or a few small ones to put together, and choose to keep the frame its natural color OR paint it, along with the pinecones!
After everything is painted, assembled, and ready to hang, this is where we suggest a shiny coat of clear spray paint. This will not only add a lovely polish to the finished artwork, but will prevent the paint from chipping in the long-run.
