Pinecone Ornament

Apparently, I am almost a year late in making these pine cone ornaments, LOL! I never jumped on the bandwagon last November, because I really didn’t have any use for them. I did, however, love them when I saw them!

I was recently asked to make some ornaments for a Christmas tree that will be auctioned off for charity. The color theme for the tree is red and turquoise, thus the colors of this ornament :) I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, so I went to the Splitcoast “Trim a Tree” gallery. That’s where I found these pine cones. I found the link to Amanda Sewell’s blog HERE for a great tutorial. Thanks, Amanda!! :D

I need a little bit of practice on these, and I think if I make another one tonight, it should go faster. I used red snowflake paper from Frances Meyer, and yummy shimmery turquoise flower print paper from KI Memories. Naturally, I “needed” to add some glitter, so I added dots of red and turquoise Stickles to the tips of each point. :D

I’m off to make some more ornaments. See ya later!! And Happy Labor Day!!! waving

It turned out beautifully!

i just discovered these too and amanda’s tutorial made all the difference! like the glitter touch, and while these are time consuming., i think they’re worth the WOW factor…

Hey that’s cool! Almost looks like an egg that I made from fabric last year:
