Ingredients
  

  • Pinecones
  • Twigs or branches
  • Snippers
  • Canvas
  • Chalky paint in White
  • Acrylic paint in White, Light Pink and Dark Pink
  • Paint brushes
  • Tacky glue or hot glue gun
  • Sandpaper

Instructions
 

  • Turn your canvas over and paint the entire back of the canvas in chalky paint.
  • To get more of a distressed look sand the wooden frame of the canvas.
  • Using the garden snips, cut between the scales of the pine cones to make individual florets.
  • Start by painting each pine cone one solid color and leave the center unpainted. Alternate between the white and pint paint. Let dry completely.
  • Take the dried pinecone florets and blend in another color in the center.
  • Cut your twigs to fit into your canvas and use tacky glue or a hot glue gun to glue the twigs into place.
  • Once the twigs are securely in place, hot glue your pinecone florets around the twigs to make it look like cherry blossoms.
