I do love seeing DIY projects, but I seem to only pick the ones that are easy and require little effort. I loved the idea of a rustic pine cone garland. Actually, I quietly would like to replace my holiday decor with all white, metallic, and natural decorations. Instead of throwing everything out, I am trying to add accents that require little to no budget.
For this garland, I purchased a bag of scented pine cones at the grocery store. Next, I drilled very small holes into the base of the pine cones and screwed in small eye hooks with a pair of needle nosed pliers. Everything is better with gold spray paint, so I gave them each a quick coat. Finally I tied each pine cone on the line of twine. If I was to do it again {which I will next year}, I would use heavier, rustic twine. Mine looks more like kite string.
I simply hung the garland in front of a set of windows using small Command hooks. It adds a natural element to our dining room and smells amazing to boot!
Be Merry and Bright!
