Wreaths - Make your own!

I live in an area where there are so many pine trees and cones.  One morning during my walk, I got several ideas of how to use the cones so I decided to pick a bunch and get creative by making my own Christmas wreath!  I prepped the cones, by washing them in vinegar and baking soda since I did get them outdoors.  If you haven't handled pine cones before, they have a very sticky sap and so after washing them, I placed them in a 200 degree oven for about an hour which helped to melt the sap.  

The cones are now ready to be used in all kinds of ways.  For my wreath, I painted the cones with white paint and then used a glitter snow to coat the pine cones giving them a flocked look.  Using twist ties, I secured each cone (about 4 of them) to my wreath.  Michael's is a great place to get all kinds of decorative picks for your wreath.  What do you think of the final product?  Please comment below!
