For this project, you will need…
Pine cones
Name tags (I made mine using my technique for turning coke cans into hammered metal tags)
Spray paint primer
Metallic silver spray paint
Small baubles: ornaments, bells, etc.
Ribbon
Hot glue
step 1 / Spray your pine cone with primer and allow it to dry completely before spraying with your silver paint. When your paint is dry, gather your supplies to assemble your ornament.
step 2 / Cut an 18-inch length of ribbon, and tie a knot at the center. Slip your tag over one of the tails and slide it to the center of the ribbon so it touches the center knot. Slip an ornament and/or bell over the same tail, and then add another bauble to the other side, as well. Tie your ribbon in a nice bow. Pretty!
step 3 / Tie another length of narrow ribbon to the top of your pine cone, forming a loop for hanging your ornament, as shown. Use a dab of hot glue to adhere your assembled bow embellishment to the top of your pine cone.
All done!
These are so simple to put together, but they make such a statement, don’t you think?
Thanks so much for making me a part of your day!
