Coney Crafts by: Caina Lynch
Here’s a fun family ornament to make on a chilly afternoon while the kids are out of school for the holiday. Gather a basket of pine cones and “get coney” with items around the house. Be sure to have plenty of pine cones to play with because once you get started you won't want to stop!
What you will need: Pine cones Glue or paint Glitter Ribbon/yarn Paper clips or ornament hooks Directions: Cover craft area with old newspapers and spread out pine cones. Use a foam paint brush (or tiny fingers work well) to paint the tips of the pine cone petals with glue. Shake glitter onto the glue. You can use one color, or combine several. For a vintage version of this fun Christmas craft, spray paint the pine cones silver or gold and tie a classic ribbon from the top. Attach a loop of ribbon or yarn to the top of the pine cone so it can be hung to dry over night before hanging on the tree. Tie a hook or paper clip to the ribbon to hang on the tree branches.
