Glittered Pine Cones

Today's project is incredibly messy and time-consuming but well worth the effort. Plus, it's very easy!

Supply List:

pine cones
glue (Aleene's Tacky Glue is always my top choice)
paint brush
glitter

Optional Supplies:

bowl
paper plates

Directions:

Brush the tips of a pine cone with a thin layer of glue.
Dip or sprinkle glitter onto pinecone (sprinkle over a bowl to collect glitter to be put back into container after use).
Allow to dry (paper plates work best).

See? Easy! Even Randy (hands shown in pictures) joined in the glitter fun! Now we have a ton of blingy, glittery pine cones for decoration! Woo!

We’re three thirtysomething friends who bonded in college and have managed to stay close even as the years have taken our lives in different directions.

Back in school we spent late nights in the studio getting each other’s input about building design or rendering techniques.

Now that architecture stops at 6 o’clock (mostly), the charrettes are self-imposed as we undertake a wide range of different projects – baking, cooking, sewing, painting, gardening, decorating, hostessing, et cetera.

Each of us has different strengths, but we all still rely on each other for input and advice, and can’t wait to show off to each other when we get something finished.
