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

OOOH this is soooo cool! I love it! I could have a whole tree of these!
Oh I remember these! I love them and your is gorgeous Trudee! I don’t think you need any practice at all!
