More decorated pinecones! Snow frosted pinecones.

Decorated pinecones add a touch of nature inside.  I love some natural elements incorporated with my Christmas decorating!

Yes, more decorated pinecones! I was obsessed with them for a while. Ask my golfing friends. My golf course was a great place to score some beautiful pinecones. I did try hard not to slow the game down and my sincere apologies to my golfing friends if I was annoying you with my quest for those beautiful pinecones!

I love the pinecones with the snow accents. My first attempt actually failed.

I carefully painted the tops of each pinecone petal. All seemed great until one rolled onto it's side and I noticed it didn't even look painted at all!

Hmmmm. So, I tried again. I painted the bottom of each pinecone petal. Not sure if that's the right term but I'm sure you know what that means!

When these were looked at from a different angle, they still showed the snowy accent.

So, the moral of this blog post is paint your pinecones from the bottom.

I have a bunch of decorated pinecones in a apothecary jar. I have the cutest kitty who will play with any he can get his little paws on so they need to be contained.

I love the mix of the white, frosted and the natural pinecones.

If you want to see how I painted my pinecones white, take a look at my white pinecone post.  This link will take you to my step by step tutorial.  I still have my white pinecones years later and I love them.  I may need to make a few more this year!

The bonus in that post is I show you exactly what to use to make the pinecones perfectly 'hangable' as ornaments. Oh what the heck, here's a peek.
