I was part of an ornament exchange and decided to make a paper pinecone. The nice thing about this ornament is you can make it any color you like. I chose gold and white for mine.
Here are the papers I chose: a gold glitter, golden stripes, clear vellum with gold hexagons, and I had white sparkly on hand.
I also bought the egg shaped styrofoam ball. I had the circle punch already and of course, my glue gun. I started out by punching out the circles from each of the papers. I needed quite a bit, more than I thought I would. I kept running out!
I started at the narrow end of the egg. I glued on each circle, overlapping them as I went around. Then I added the next layer, overlapping the first layer too.
Here it is about half way done. I love how it is turning out!
After all the circles were attached, I added gold twine to the top for hanging. I think this looks so pretty! It will look even better when the lights from the tree make it sparkle and shine!
This takes a little bit of time and lots of paper circles, but it really is a simple project! If you would like to see more, head over to homeonthecorner.com.
