Pine cone wreath


I made this wreath out of pine cones that I got when we went to Sequoia National Park this past Veterens weekend. I didn't have enough though, so I went to good ol Michaels and picked up two bags of pine cones plus two bags of smaller pine cones which were perfect for the fillers. I also bought gold spray paint but it wasn't enough, that's why you see here half of the wreath has gold glitter cones and the others are plain. Im planing to finish painting it tomorrow because I just got more spray paint. My boyfriend is telling me to leave it the way it is. He says it makes it add dimension by having the different shades. I'm not sure if I should or not. If I do add the gold, I'll post another picture. But here is the semi-finished / finished wreath. I actually am really proud of this one. It took me a while to finish, I got burned by the hot glue gun a couple of times, and the pine cones cut me, but all in all it was worth it :)
