Today I would like to talk about a DIY that I have been playing with for quite some time now. It all started when we found some pinecones at the farm that we were babysitting several months ago. We found them on a morning walk and that is when I discovered that I actually really like them; I like their texture, its a fun way to bring to bring more nature into the house (heehee), and it made for a great afternoon of gathering them up & sorting them. This started my lovely journey of searching on Pinterest to find what I could create or add to the pinecones to make them a little prettier and perfect for our home display purposes.
I found two lovely ideas right away: painted pinecones & bleached pinecones.
Painting the pinecones was a project that I did right away, I even wrote a blot post about my little project that can be found here. It was such a simple little project that gave them a little character, in my opinion. My little toddler also enjoyed picking out the colours that I used for each pinecone (she also hid a few of my paint tubes in her bedroom).

Above: Then we had the exact same type of pinecone, but only the outsides were bleached and not the inside.

All in all, I really enjoyed this project.





Feel free to add me on Pinterest if you would like. I love using Pinterest and think it is such a great way to find inspiration for everything. I am always pinning pictures and buttons. My profile is here.
