PineCone Crafts for Kids

Directions:

1. Depending on your glue of choice either plug in your glue gun and wait for it to warm up or go ahead and dive right in if you have a young child and use theHot Glue Gun. I did try it using Elmer’s glue but had a major problem keeping them on after the glue dried. That is why I prefer Aleen’s.
2. Glue a rhinestone on each end of the stem sticking out from the pinecone. Go all the way around the pinecone (this is great practice for a younger child’s small motor skills),
3. If you have used a hot glue gun (please make sure you monitor your older child, never use a hot glue gun with a younger child) you will just need to make sure the glue is dry before you move on to step 4. If you have used a child’s type glue then set your project aside and wait for it to dry overnight.
4. I used about 6 inches of ribbon for each pinecone. Once you have your ribbon cut glue both ends to the bottom of the pinecone to use as a hanger for your ornament. This needs to have a good amount of glue and needs to dry completely before you try to hang them!

I found some really awesome PineCone Crafts for Kids Kits that you can order! They have some really cute ones on there.
