String Up the Season
Festively fun and simple, this cranberry pinecone garland will look wonderful no matter where you hang it. And, for extra holiday cheer, use scented pinecones to bring a delightful aroma into your home all season long!
Materials
- Natural or store-bought pinecones
- Spray paint (gold or silver), optional
- Whole cranberries
- Needle
- Waxed floss/string
- Shellac
- Felt
- Hot glue gun and glue
- If desired, spray the pinecones with a thin coat of spray paint.
- Allow the pinecones to dry, and, in the meantime, use a needle and waxed floss or string to string up the cranberries. Leave enough space in between each for a pinecone. Spray over the berries with shellac to preserve them.
- Secure the pinecones to the string of cranberries by placing a piece of felt on the top of each pinecone, with the string underneath, and securing with hot glue.
