<\/p>\n
There are some crafts that I remember doing when I was a girl that are now pretty iconic as childhood classics! This Frosty Pinecone Craft is one of those and I expect lots of adults reading this have made a variation of it during their childhood too.<\/p>\n
However, our frosty pinecone craft is a little bit special! Although based on a classic kids craft, ours has a clever little twist that really gives its frosty appearance a really special edge!<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re at home or in the classroom, this frosty pinecone craft is an updated childhood classic not to be missed!<\/p>\n

Frosty pinecones just shout out Winter and are great for hanging on the Christmas tree or gathering into bunches for a Winter display to hang on your door, or simply to display in a bowl as a pretty table centrepiece.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve hung ours on our wishing tree<\/a>, which gets new displays of crafted goodies throughout the year. I think they look just beautiful!<\/p>\n We\u2019ve got lots of Winter crafts<\/a> that go really well with these frosted pinecones. Why not try our 3D Snowflakes<\/a> and Folded Paper Icicles?<\/a> They both come with free printable templates!<\/p>\n Supplies To Make Frosty Pinecones:<\/p>\n 1 \u2013 In a bowl large enough for a pinecone to fit in mix together some white acrylic paint and PVA glue to a 60\/40 ratio (approx).<\/p>\n 2 \u2013 Then roll the pinecones around in the paint and glue mixture.<\/p>\n You can use your hands to rub over each pinecone to get rid of any dripping blobs of mixture and to make sure the cone is evenly covered from top to bottom, leaving the inner parts paint free.<\/p>\n My kids love the feel of the lumpy, bumpy, slippery pinecones when they do this!<\/p>\n 3 \u2013 In another bowl big enough to fit the pinecones pour in a shallow layer of bio glitter. (Keeping the glitter in the bowl saves a lot of mess!)<\/p>\n 4 \u2013 While the paint and glue mixture on the pinecones is still wet, roll each one into the glitter.<\/p>\n When I was a girl this pinecone craft was traditionally done with just glue and glitter. Our modern twist of adding white paint to the glue gives your pinecones a snowy look. Then the addition of glitter gives a wonderfully icy effect on the pinecone edges. It looks much more frosty than just glitter and glue alone!<\/p>\n 5 \u2013 Leave the pinecones to dry for a few hours. Once the glue is dry, tap the frosty pinecones onto a sheet of paper to catch any loose glitter.<\/p>\n If you are going to display the frosty pinecones in a bowl or on a tray then you don\u2019t need to do anything else other than enjoy how gorgeous they look! \u00a0If you want to hang them on display perhaps on your own wishing tree <\/a>or as a pinecone Christmas ornament, then read on!<\/p>\n 6 \u2013 If you want to hang your frosty pinecones up, then you\u2019ll need to attach some silver cord. You can simply tie a loop of thread on if you want but we found it neater to glue it on.<\/p>\n We used a hot glue gun for speed (I\u2019m a bit of an impatient crafter!) but you can use the white PVA glue if you prefer but it will need time to dry before you can put your gorgeous sparkly pinecones on display!<\/p>\n I hope you like this modern twist on a classic kids Winter craft. I think the end results are quite stunning!<\/p>\n We\u2019re certainly going to be using some of our frosty pinecones as Christmas ornaments and will then enjoy them in a bowl on the coffee table for the Winter.<\/p>\n You can print the frosty pinecone craft instructions below.<\/p>\n More Fun Winter Crafts<\/a> To Enjoy:<\/p>\n Stunning 3D Snowflake Craft<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Cute Paper Roll Polar Bear Craft For Kids To Make<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Printable Rocking Penguin Craft For Kids<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n Rocking Paper Plate Penguin Craft For Kids To Make<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\nFrosty Pinecone Craft Tutorial<\/h2>\n
