Materials

Glittery Christmas Pinecone Ornaments

Assorted pinecones
Americana acrylic paint by DecoArt in the suggested colors: Indian Turquoise (top photo), Winter Blue (in the three step-by-step pictures), Country Red, Avocado Dip, and Hauser Light Green
American Painter #5 round (series 4000)
Glitter, of course, in assorted colors
Black, 26-gauge craft wire
Wire cutters
Chain-nose pliers

Instructions:

Paint the tips of the pinecone with paint as shown above. Work quickly because you want the paint to remain wet.
While the paint is still wet, sprinkle lots of glitter on the pinecone. Let dry completely.
Use 9 inches of wire, and bend it in half to form a loop. Take the loose ends, and gently twist a few times to secure the loop. Now wrap the loose ends around the pinecone's stem. Push down any loose ends with your chain-nose pliers.
Hang on your Christmas tree!
