Everyone brings me pine cones (for my Faerie House roofs) ~
A LOT of pine cones...
I'm not complaining... I love them, and can't resist picking them up myself, still!
~
So, when I saw this on Pinterest (it's been a while), I did a mental "file-away"
and decided it would be a nice, easy project ~

Here goes... "Frosty" Pine Cones
Pine cones
White Acrylic Paint/Old Brush
White Craft Glue
Epsom Salts

Brush the tips of the cones with white acrylic paint and let dry.

Then brush over the white acrylic with craft glue;
(I think the original directions said to just used the paint as "glue",
but it really isn't sticky enough) ~ then roll in Epsom Salts.
That's it!

What do you think....Yes?
A "keeper" for next Christmas/Winter?

Keep warm, everyone!

ReplyDeleteDear Anne - I am late reading this post my friend. So glad you shared this lovely winter project. That is certainly something I will file away for next year. Like you I always can end up with lots of pine cones if I want them. Very clever friend. - Hope you are having a good winter - Hugs Pixie

I too have a thing about pine cones and they seem to breed in the corner of my studio... One minute there's a few and the next minute there's a crowd.. how do they do that.
ReplyDeleteLove this frosting idea, I will try this for snow on the roof's of the little houses I sometimes make.
Thanks for sharing.
