Pretty Pinecone Clothespin Craft
Sharing this simple craft idea using natural wood clothespins and some pretty painted pinecone flowers.
Ingredients
- Clothespins natural wood
- Small pinecones cut in half to make “pinecone flowers”
- Acrylic paint in any color of your choosing shades of pink mixed with white
- Paintbrush
- Hot glue gun
- Decorative bow ¼” wide - ½” wide
Instructions
- Prepare the pinecones for crafting
- Once cleaned, use gardening shears to trim off the top half of the pinecone leaving just the lower half. This lower half will resemble a flower.
- Using a fine tip paint brush, add paint to the petals of the pinecone flower. Leave the center of the pinecone unfinished. Mix a few different shades of pink to repeat for other pinecone flowers.
- Preheat glue gun and then secure the underside of the pinecone flower to the clothespin. Leave enough room at the top for a pretied decorative bow.
