Crush dried pinecones with shimmer paint. This might be the prettiest thing you make this season
Allow the painted pinecone pieces to dry completely.
Cut your ribbon or twine into 6-8 inch lengths. Tie each length into a loop, securing with a knot.
Use a hot glue gun to attach a loop of ribbon or twine to the top of each pinecone fragment to create a hanging ornament.
Once the glue is dry and secure, your ornaments are ready to hang.
Variations & Tips
For a different look, consider using metallic paint in silver or gold to create a more classic holiday aesthetic. You can also experiment with different colors of shimmer paint to match your existing decor theme. For a natural and earthy variation, skip the paint altogether and use natural pinecones, highlighting them with a clear or matte varnish for a subtle sheen. Additionally, you can add other natural elements to the ornaments, such as small sprigs of evergreen or dried berries, for added texture and visual interest. These variations allow you to customize the ornaments to fit your personal style and holiday decor.
