On the other day I picked up some pine cones near our office parking lot. I was planning to put some glitter and use it for Christmas decor. While painting the lampshade, I poured more paint than needed on to the tray. Instead of throwing the unused paint, I started painting the pine cones.
All that u need for this project is pine cones (available at art and craft stores too), painting brush and acrylic paint ( I used 3 shades of blue). Its very very simple project, clean the pine cones, start painting in layers.Here is an After
Hang it up on the tree or fill the bowl for Christmas decor.

It is a such a simple project, can be a quick project with little ones.
