Everything looks awesome with glitter

These were really easy to make with a little bit of help from my four year old daughter. All I needed was a bag of pine cones from Michael's, Martha Stewart bronze glitter and a brown paper bag.


For the squirrel ornaments I drew the
silhouette freehand and traced it on a brown paper grocery bag. I love to reuse and recycle wherever possible. Apply glue and let the kids sprinkle the glitter.



For the pine cone ornaments I just applied glue to the tips and the top of the pine cone and sprinkled some glitter.



So easy to make and they fit in perfectly with the woodsy theme for my Christmas tree.

Check the painted glass ornaments I made earlier! Here is the link.

  3. The squirrels are soo cute. Would you be willing to put your drawing in a pdf so I could make these next year?! Our town in Marysville Kansas is known for BLACK squirrels. This would be perfect! Thanks.
