Instructions:
1. Start hot gluing the pine cones on the inside of the wreath.
2. The first round is finished.
3. Add the next round just above the previous round. Glue the pinecones on so that there is little of the straw wreath to be seen.
4. Then add the next row. Occasionally you will notice that you can not avoid all the gaps. This is where the tiniest cones come in handy. Use them as fillers.
5. Work your way towards the outside of the wreath until it is completely covered.
6. The best is to spray paint the wreath outdoors. Here a cardboard box lid was used so that the ground will not get any paint on it. A coat of white was first added. Once dry, a second coat was then added. Make sure to catch all sides of the cones but they do not have to be completely covered in white. They should have more a frosted look.
7. Then once the white paint is dry, a silver sparkle spray paint was used to add sparkles on the wreath. Let the wreath dry overnight in a well ventilated place (the basement or wood shed perhaps because of the fumes of the spray).
