1. Spray paint your pine cones
On a flat surface that you've covered in old newspapers or cardboard, start spray painting your pine cones. Split them up into two groups so you have two different colors to work with. As you paint, be sure to roll your pine cones over so that you get all sides and every nook and cranny.
2. Dip in glitter

Let the paint dry before you handle the pine cones, otherwise, you're going to get it all over your hands. Then, grab your foam brush and paint on a thick layer of glue to your pine cones one by one. Immediately dip your pine cone into the glitter, rolling the cone around side to side so that everything is covered.
3. Place in a bowl and enjoy!

That's it! Be sure to let your pine cones fully dry before displaying them. We like the idea of putting them in a glass jar or vase so that you don't miss any of the sparkly details.
