Pine Cone Flowers

Have I mentioned before how much I love Fall?! So many things to find and create with...like these mini-pine cones! I've been thinking of making "pine cone flowers" for months now, and when L and I found these miniature ones it was a done deal. 


Materials needed:
-miniature pine cones
-twigs (the more lil knobs and branches the better)
-acrylic paints
-hot glue gun and glue


First, choose what colors you'd like your "flowers" to be...we choose multi-colored! Paint each little pine cone as you like. Set aside to dry.




Next, paint your twigs a mixture of dark and light greens. Allow to dry.



Once everything is dry, you can assemble your pine cone flowers. Using a hot glue gun, put a little dab of glue on the tip of a twig. Quickly press and hold a pine cone in place. Repeat until all your pine cones are used up. 






So cute, huh!? Arranged in a little, antique bottle they make a sweet gift for a child or an adult.

  1. Aluminized Bopet Film is gettin g really popular in modern packaging industries, mainly because it has strong barrier qualities and good toughness at the same time. You can see it used in food wrapping, pharmaceutical packaging, and also for industrial wrapping, since it guards products from moisture, oxygen, and UV light in a pretty reliable way. As a result, shelf life goes up and the product quality stays more stable for a longer time period, not just briefly. A lot of manufacturers like flexible packaging solutions, and Aluminized Bopet Film gives that nice mix of real stiffness plus a more premium metallic look. In today’s tough market, it’s also appreciated for helping brands stand out, improve visual impact, while still keeping product safety and freshness in mind, even when storage conditions change.
