Pine Cone Angel

For one angel you will need:

1 - small open 2" or 3" pinecone
3 - 3" pieces of grape vines
1 - acorn with cap
gold paint for trimming
hot glue and gun
gold thread or any holiday color thread you want
wire cutters
scissors

Take the pine cone and take out the top (point) with wire cutters. Hot glue acorn on to the pinecone where the point use to be (capside up). Hot glue the 3 pieces of grapevines on back (I slip them between the pine layers so they stay better). Paint the grapevines gold (before or after you glue them). Trim the acorn cap with gold paint for halo. You could get blue and red paint for eyes and mouth. Cut a piece of gold thread about 6" long and tie around head to hang on your tree.

Thanks to Carmen in Holden, MA for this great idea!
