After helping my mom hang decorations on her Christmas tree last weekend, I realized how almost every year growing up we made a handmade ornament, whether it were at school, Sunday school, or at home with Mom. Inspired by a sparkly pinecone I created as a little runt, I made a late night trip to the drug store on Monday night to stock up on glue and glitter.

Finn concentrates on his ornament skills.

Our final product, ornaments for each kid plus some to use as gifts for Moms, Dads, Grandmas & Grandpas.  The project itself was super easy, but keeping the glitter on the pinecones was a little harder.  I recommend using a large Gladware or Ziploc container to sprinkle your glitter in, a paper bowl to roll your glue in and paper plates to rest your final product.
