Pinecone Christmas Tree

In this intractable you will learn how to create a Christmas tree out of a pinecone. (The perfect gift or decoration for the Christmas season.)

Materials:

-Pinecone x2

-Cork

-Cardboard

-Blue & yellow acrylic paint

Tools:

-Glue gun

-Pencil

-Rubber

-Scissors

-Paint brush

Start by warming up the hot glue gun and leave it to the side for later.

Cut the cork in half with scissors.

Next, take the yellow and blue paint and mix it together on a scrap piece of paper to make green paint. (If you already have green paint then skip this step.)

Draw out two stars on the cardboard using a pencil. Then carefully cut them out with scissors.

Take the warm hot glue gun and glue the cork to the bottom of the pinecone. Then glue the cut-out star on the top of the pinecone. Wait for 1-2 minutes for the glue to dry before continuing with the next step. Repeat this step for the second Christmas tree. 

Take the green paint and paint the sides of the pinecone using a paint brush. After that, clean the brush with water then paint the star with the yellow paint. Repeat this step for the second Christmas tree. 

If you have glitter, pompoms, or any other decorations that you want to use then you can decorate your Christmas tree as you wish (this last step is optional).
