Homemade Christmas Tree Ornaments

Win Back Love: How To Get Your Ex Back

A fun family project during the holidays is to make your own Christmas tree ornaments. Here are some easy crafts that will soon have you making your very own ornaments.
Pinecone Ornaments
Supplies:
* Pine Cone
* Paint
* Beads, glitter or sequins, yarn and small buttons to decorate with
* Ribbon
* Glue
Simple Instructions:
* Cut a 6" length of ribbon.
* Tie into a circle and glue the tied part to the pointy tip of the pine cone.
* Paint the cone green
* While the paint is still wet sprinkle with the glitter.
* Once the paint is dry you can decorate with beads and sequins to look like ornaments on the tree.
* You can paint the tips white to look like snow.
You can hang on your Christmas tree as an ornament or you can place it on a shelf by putting it into a small clay decorated pot.
Ice Cream Cone Ornament
These are fun to make and anyone over 3 yrs of age can make these.
Supplies you will need:
* Either the cake or the sugar ice cream cones
* A solid colored ball ornament big enough to sit on the cones
* White acrylic pain
* Tiny glass beads
* Glue or hot glue
* Spray acrylic
* Ribbon
What to do:
* Hold the cone by the base
* Place glue all along the inside rim of the cone.
* Place the ball ornament on the cone with the hanging side up
* Make sure the ornament is dry before doing the next part. (hot glue works faster).
* Drizzle white paint on top of the ball
* Sprinkle glass beads on top of the wet white paint.
* Let this dry overnight
* Lightly spray the cone part with acrylic. DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE TO THE CONE WHILE SPRAYING as this may melt the cone. This will seal the cone.
* Tie a colorful ribbon through the loop of the ornament
Your ornament is done!
****NOTE***** if you want to write the child's name and date on the base of the cone before spraying with acrylic it is a nice touch.
