Glitter Pinecorn Ornaments

The easiest Christmas craft to do with your kids:  make glittery pinecones!

This is a great craft for little ones who love glue and glitter. I used Mod Podge as the glue and once it dries it’s invisible.

They are so beautiful when hung on the tree and the lights catch the glitter!
I love using what I can find in our yard to decorate at Christmastime. If were up to me our whole house would be evergreens, pinecones and white and silver ornaments. But alas, my kids (and husband) love our colorful decorations so I do my thing in the living room (using whatever I already have) and hand over the rest of the house to the chitlins.

I have tons of shells that occupy hurricanes in the summer, and since I haven’t put them away yet I thought I’d parlay them into Christmas decorations.

This bowl is a candy dish from Mark’s great aunt and uncle who we love dearly.
In lieu of curtains, which have yet to make their way into our budget, I hung ornaments in the windows, along with a couple of sand dollars. The neighbors probably think I’m nuts. We don’t exactly live by the sea.
Someone has to clean the outside of this window…..but its not going to be me!
The simplicity of the Christmas decorations in this room make me HAPPY!
Now I can’t wait to get our tree so I can hang my glittery pinecones, where they will coexist with all the colorful ornaments that my kids have made over the years!
Lets talk recipes tomorrow – its definitely time for some holiday baking!

    Love the pinecones! Will have to try them with my grandson. He adores glitter, of course!

    And love the window too! Great idea! Forget the curtains, lol.

    I love your pine cones Lisa and really want to try this. Your hanging ornaments are pretty too. We have no curtains in our dining room and this might add a little something to the blank windows.
