There are pine cone crafts galore that you can do, including making pine cone wreaths, holiday ornaments, dolls, animals and more! Paint is perfect for displaying them with more pizazz.

First, if you are bringing in pinecones from outside your might want to consider the fact that they could have some nasty critters living in them that you may not see right away.

Bake in an oven that is set to no more than 200 degrees because any higher and they could burn.

Once debugged they are ready to paint. Take some floral wire and wrap loosely around the top (flatter) part of the pinecone until secure enough to hold and dip into the paint.

I like to use household latex paint for my painting pinecones projects.
