Painting pinecones is a very calming activity. A faster way to decorate pinecones is by dipping the entire thing in paint and letting it dry. The outcome is super cute, but we were looking for just a touch of metallic, while still keeping an earthy feel. After painting them you can make a cool wintery garland.
