I can’t take credit for this idea, which is probably obvious to you once you see how clever, beautiful, and well-done this decoration is! Vickie sent in this idea with fabulous instructions and pictures. Bless you, Vickie!
I’m super impressed that this entire craft decoration (worth $20) only cost Vickie 50¢. Amazing!
Here’s Vicki:
-
12 pinecones (selling for 50 cents each at the local store or harvest them from your backyard for free)
-
2-3 ft of ribbon ($4-6 or use repurposed ribbon for free)
-
basket ($5-10 or again, repurpose one for free. You can also shop 2nd hand stores for baskets.)
-
craft paint ($1 per bottle) I used 1/2 bottle of yellow and a smidge of white. You can also use any old leftover paint.
-
glue
-
optional picture hanger and felt pads (cost ?, I found these in my tool drawer so for me they were free)
This is such a lovely idea. I think my boys might even enjoy collecting and painting pinecones for this. Vickie: Thank you! Keep the ideas coming, Dear Readers. I love your brilliance and creativity!
