Pinecone Angel

Simple and fun angel to make and best of all using Mother Nature materials, mostly!

I gather pinecones, hazelnut, silk leaves, decorative cord, and wire edged ribbon, glue gun, and metallic gold spray paint.

I glue the hazelnut to the top of the pinecone.

I glue the 2 silk leafs on the back of cone right below the hazelnut head.

I take the Pinecone Angel outside and spray paint gold . I let front dry then turn over and spray the backside. At this point I spray glitter paint on it as well.

When dry I then attach the wired edge ribbon with the glue gun for the halo. I use decorative ribbon or cord for the hanger and glue to the back. I use approximately 5 inches of cord for hanger.

I have a Nature Christmas tree with all these angels being used on it. I make more every year! Just a fun inexpensive way to make Christmas decoration!
