DIY Flocked Pine Cones

Jump to How-To

Make flocked pine cones with this easy tutorial using just Epsom salt and mod podge. This would be an easy craft to do as a group as well.

I have so many Christmas DIYs so you may want to peruse. This DIY Christmas advent is fun if you’ve got a Cricut you want to utilize.

Did you find some ugly small pine cones you don’t want to have flocked? Try tie dyeing with them. No really!

I am so excited for Christmas I could explode! At my recent expo, there was a nice couple selling huge pinecones and when I bought seven, my husband thought I had lost my mind. But 7 pinecones for $10 is an amazing deal!

This tutorial is so simple it hurts. I put together a video for you so you can see exactly what steps I used to get this beautiful, fresh fallen snow look!

It is so easy to make these pinecones beautiful and sparkly! You'll never belive what I used to get these pinecones to looks like they have snow on their tips.

What I used for my Diy flocked Pine cones

Pinecones

Epsom salt
Modpodge
Paintbrush

All you do is paint the mod podge on the tips of the pine cone, and dip the tips in your Epsom salt!

I bought my Epsom salt in bulk from Costco while making bath salts and I love the way it looks like snow.

These are so cute, I was just spying pinecones under my mom’s neighbor’s tree yesterday. I should have picked them up for this cute project.
