Deck the hall with DIY ornaments... fa la la la la...
Excuse the cheesy intro, but my excitement levels are running high this Christmas season! When I bought my home last year, I knew I wanted to build a collection of timeless Christmas pieces that I could use for many years to come. So, this year I bought my first Christmas tree and I am so in love with it. It is the most perfect pre-lit gem and I could not wait to decorate it!
My home combines accents of silver and gold and I wanted to incorporate the same color scheme into my tree with accents of red for the holiday. After decorating my tree with all the ornaments, there was one additional element I knew I needed to include.
As I shopped for my ornaments, I saw so many beautiful glittered pinecones. Every time I spot them I would throw them in my shopping cart only to put them back because of how overpriced they were. So, I thought I would bring you this simple and inexpensive DIY to spice up your holiday tree.
Supplies:
- Bag of pinecones (option 1, option 2, option 3)
- White Glitter
- Fishing line
- Spray Adhesive
- Scissors
Step 1: Spray Your Pinecones
- Use a light mist for minimal glitter or use a heavy coat for a more snow-like effect
- I recommend spraying the pinecones outside and using gloves because this part can get sticky
Step 2: Add Your Sparkle
- Start by pouring the glitter directly on the pinecones over a plate
- With the excess glitter left on the plate to roll the pinecone all over the glitter for that true snow-like effect on the edges
Step 3: Hook'em
- Personally, I used fishing line to create the hanging hooks but feel free to get creative here by using ribbon or anything else you see fit
- I created circle loops and used extra gorilla glue to reinforce on the tops of my pinecones
Step 4: Spice Up Your Tree
- Add your festive creations to your tree and you are all done
I hope you all enjoyed! I had so much fun making theses and if you recreate this little DIY be sure to tag me on Instagram and use the #HOLIDAYJULES !!
Happy Holidays!
XOXO,
