Painting your pinecones is perfect for displaying them with more pizazz. I've tried spraying them and a few other techniques, but this one works best, so let’s get started!

If you gather the pinecones from the outside, clean them up before you start. You can bake them to kill any nasty critters living in them.

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.

Keep the length of the wire long enough to create a little curved “hanger” on the opposite end.

You’ll want to set up a small spot to hang the pinecones and allow the paint to dry.

Be sure to line wherever that is with newspaper or a dropcloth because the paint will drip.
