DIY Wedding

... more sneak peeks on decorations for my wedding!

Weddings can get to be expensive when you start thinking about the
details, details, DETAILS! Decorations... etc!
 
So, I am very happy that we agreed upon a Winter-Wonderland theme.
The winter decorations are easy to make and they are sparkly!
Just what we I wanted! You know us girls, have to have everything
GLITTER,
SPARKLE and SEQUINS!
 
These
DIY Pinecones
fit right in and are the perfect décor to add to the tables,
around the center pieces and everywhere else at the reception!
 
1. Spray paint the pinecones! I used Rustoleum brand spray paint: Metallic Chrome Finish, White, and Gray and just mixed all of the finished pinecones together so we have some variation of color.
*I like Rustoleum the BEST! It coats well, you only have to do 1 coat and it dries FAST!
 
 
2. After the pinecones are dry you will need:
Mod Podge, (Fine) Glitter, Mod Podge SUPER SHINE Clear Sealer
& two bowls!
 
 
3. In one bowl pour the Mod Podge, take the pine cone and roll the ends in the glue,
take the pine cone and while holding it over the empty bowl shake the glitter on all of the ends. Set on a protected, flat surface to dry.
 
4. After the pinecones are dry, spray a light coat of the Mod Podge Clear Acrylic Sealer and let dry for about an hour ... or until they are no longer sticky.
 
 
TA-DA!
Glittery, sparkly, winter-wonderland wedding decorations!
& the best part is I only paid for the supplies... all of the pinecones came from friends & families yards. Thanks friends! :)
