Ornaments

Last week Emily and I washed our pine cones. Today we baked them. Then Ryan drilled a hole in the top and we screwed in our eye screws for hanging. Then we had fun painting them. I originally wanted to only do one color; maybe silver or gold, but considering the activity was really for Emily, I bought these kid proof paints (I opted not to work with hot wax afterall) in lots of colors. Choosing the colors was Emily's favorite part! She would barely get one started before she would want a new pine cone and different color. We tried to be patient with her and be glad she was having fun. Here's some photos of our work:
