I am drawn to metallics when it comes to decorating for Christmas. They provide that little special sparkle to make your home feel special for the holidays and can be easily incorporated along with traditional holiday colors like red and green. This DIY pinecone and acorn wreath takes these natural materials to another level by painting them in a variety of metallic colors. Such a pretty addition to your Christmas dècor!
Paint a 12" wood craft ring with gold craft paint and a foam brush.
Paint the pine cones and mini pine cones with a variety of metallic craft paint colors and a foam brush. I used gold, silver, platinum, and copper paint.
Use metallic glitter glue to add some additional sparkle to the tips of the pine cones.
Use the glitter glue to paint the bottom of the acorns. Let pine cones and acorns dry completely.
Add the pine cones to the gold wreath ring with a generous dab of hot glue. Hold the pine cone in place until set. Position the pine cones towards the edges of the ring so you can fit two pine cones side by side on the ring. Randomly mix the colors of the pine cones as you add them.
Fill in gaps between the pine cones with mini pine cones and acorns. You can also layer some of the acorns on top of the pine cones with a dab of hot glue.
Hang your wreath and enjoy! There are two notches on the back of the wood ring that allows you to hang your wreath with a couple small nails.
