Christmas always seems to bring out the craftiness in people. Everywhere you look nature is being used to create amazingly beautiful decorations for the inside of the home.
Retailers have produced some glitzy glitter covered pine cones that they are selling at a nice price. If you want some glamorous glittery pine cones, but don’t want to pay for them, there is a way to make your own.
Things you will need:
- Pine cones
- Glitter polish
- Metallic gold nail polish
Be sure the pine cones are clean and dry. Next, choose the size you want to craft with, a variety of sizes is best. The great thing about using the glitter nail polish is that there is no mess like when using craft glue and glitter. Using the brush that comes with the polish, brush the color onto each of the tiny little branches. No spill, no fuss, no mess.
The awesome thing about using polish is that you can apply the exact amount of color, gloss and glitter that you want. There is no guess work. To give the color real dimension, a different number of coats will create more or less depth.
