Gather pine cones.
Purchase glitter. Orange and gold for Thanksgiving. Red, silver for Christmas.
Spread out wax paper.
Make it a family project.
Cover your pine cones with Elmer's glue.
Sprinkle your cones with glitter.
It is beautiful, fun and inexpensive.
Buy a crystal cake plate, check Goodwill, TJ Maxx, not expensive.
Arrange your small gourds, pumpkins, squash, glittered cones on the cake plate.
Actually, ALLOW YOUR CHILDREN to arrange it. They will feel so special to make the table decoration.
The light will shine through the crystal cake plate, sparkle the glittered cones and create a warm table decoration.
Your children will feel so proud and you have created a memory, a tradition, they can carry with them.
Isn't that what the holidays are all about?
Children, memories, warmth and some sparkle.
Go pick up some pine cones.
