Steps:
- My pinecone already has glitter trim, but you can use any pinecone. Ready to paint rainbow colors onto each layer - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. (Don't forget you can mix colors to create a color if you do not have it.)
- Allow your pinecones to dry.

- Using twine, secure knot on the top of the pinecone and hot glue it in place for extra security. You can stop here if you would like, but I wanted a bell and bow.

- Thread twine through the loop on the bell and secure underneath the pinecone.
