Homemade glitter pine cones Christmas ornaments 1st grade

Thought I would make a easy craft for the 1st grade Christmas party... Little did I know how much work they would be for ME. You think I would clue in soon ;o)
The kids LOVED the glitter :O)

I have a variety of pine trees, so I was fortunate to collect a nice bunch

Sprayed with Krylon flat white spray paint. 1 can was enough to do all.

I started with tacky glue, waste of time. Got the glue gun out and glued a variety of holiday ribbons to the top of each one.

prepped and ready for their glitter

I needed 57 for all the students. But I like to make about 20 extra, so all the children have a choice, and don't have to take the "last one"

In class the children drizzle white glue on their pine cone, then shake glitter color of their choice.

I laminated their school pics, and put the year on the back. The tags are the avery hang tags, worked well.

A red ribbon tied their pictures on.

Then we wrapped each ornament in a cellophane bag with ribbon for the children to give to their parents.
