We have already stayed in detail last time. Now let's talk about more adult, so to speak, using cones to create an exquisite thematic interior in the winter season and on New Year's holidays. In this article, we will consider the simplest options that do not require (not counting the preparation for staining or bleaching cones) a lot of time, means and forces.

1. The easiest and easiest option is to wash, then paint completely, whiten the bump or apply an artificial snow from the can on it, and then beaten with a nail / bracket, stick with hot glue (or glue a large beading with hot glue, and In the hole of the beads already insert the rope / tape) or scout a thin screw or screw with a loop with a small bow. Or without a bow - depending on the final purpose of applying such a design. After that, the bumps can be hidden on the walls, chandeliers, hang on the tablecloth on the sides of the table - and use where you can also choose your choice.

The main thing here is to choose the right tape. Best of all with cones, cozy lackless tapes made of thick soft fabric, like a fleece, suede, checkered fabric. But the usual ribbons with a smooth shining surface in a pair with cones look vulgar.

Also from large cones make garlands, tie tapes between scales - on the 2-3-4th level from the "ass". Here it is convenient and beautiful to take thin ribbons from a simple red-white fabric in one layer, as well as a natural rope like a hemp, jute, etc.

Chairs decorating on the same basis:

But make a beautiful bunch of cones on the ribbons, as it turned out, quite difficult. And the point here is not in the attachment, but the fact that the bumps in a similar "beam" most often look like a dense bunch of what it is not clear. Fundamental rules:
- Enter as many levels as far as possible from each other: No pair of cones from the used should not hang at one level or approximately at one level;
- We never take wide ribbons for such work - only a narrow or medium width of maximum, otherwise only add bulky and clumsy design;
- Do not use many cones, but little too: 3 look ... Poor, and 7 - this is again ... A bunch;
- For such compositions, the bumps are best to paint / / sit with artificial snow, and do not hang, as is.

Suspension of cones:

2. It is not more difficult to put in the same way trimmed (whiten / painting / "sit in the snow" - white paint or artificial snow) cones in vases, dishes, large flower pots. The main thing is to know specific ideas and always keep the final design in mind.

Vases take large, completely transparent and without additional details. For them, brightly colored bumps are needed. The combinations of colors and shades depend on the reason and design of the room (but do not forget that the colors can be perfectly combined with each other):

The bumps are swaying under the main color gamut of the New Year tree and other festive decorations in the house (or under the color gamut of the New Year's table, for example);

The bumps are swaying with flowers and shades for the gamma (see color circle): muted, if the interior is thrown by itself, and bright, if the interior is very neutral (in the latter case, the bumps in the vase will become a focal point, an emphasis in the room);

If you are dealing with a children's room or a kindergarten, a bathroom (or occasionally kitchens in a similar style), where usually the fully neutral interior is interspersed with a lot of small bright parts of different colors (more than 3), bumps krave in the same catchy colors, What is indoors.

Flower pots can even take outdoor - for large cones. We add boiled branches at the request and the most simple Christmas balls - and amazing compositions are ready. Here the bumps usually do not paint, well, the maximum is in the muffled-silver or muffled / pale-gold shades. Or white paint / artificial snow "mocked" from above - along the edges of the discontinued scales. Kashpo, dishes, pots take from natural materials: wood, ceramics. If the latter is with a pattern, choose Scandinavian motifs, ascetic or rustic coarse styles and "winter" - that is, where in the inconspicuous and more often simple patterns, there are many white color, as if the pots are sipped by snow.

And here are not artificial transparent cones, but the paint is simply selected successfully: metallic with a special glossy silver-golden tide.

Competently pick up the colors for cones and the shape of the vase / pile, and more in principle do not need anything:

And here, for example, the cones were neatly separated by soft large scales and stuck with hot glue from top to bottom with rows and pendulum on a transparent simple candlestick - or any other container according to your choice.

4. Cones under glass. Glass caps / domes are not very common in our country and, darker less, they are quite easy to find on sale, and prices for them are not so big. Moreover, the result is worth it.

With transparent Christmas balls from which metal crowns and loops were removed

And bumps, and the dome is shipped with artificial snow

6. Packaging gifts and decoration of the New Year's table. Here is all the same: the main thing is to give preference to natural and simple materials, since the bumps themselves are more than expressive, cozy and interesting.

But these are holders for cards. We saw the bump vertically from top to bottom to the middle and screaming off the ass so that the bump becomes stable. Optionally, we finish a cone, as described above - and ready!

Remove 3-4 flakes from the top of the cones, then sprinkle the remaining top (consisting of 3-4-row of scales), in its center glue a beautiful bead - and glue the top on the tape. You can decorate napkins, gifts, guest / ornamental towels in the bathroom and so on.

7. Decoration for door handles - bump in the ulus. From the notes on yellowish paper, we turn carelessly with a barn, inside it on the edge on top, we glue a fishnet paper napkin, and then we plant on the glue and the bump on top. Fresh a natural simple rope by any convenient way, and hang on such a decoration to the handle of each door in the house.

The bumps are amazing, gracious material. It is not difficult to get them at all, especially if somewhere nearby there is a coniferous forest, and the possibilities in front of the owner of such a "treasure" open quantity. Moreover, not only creative personalities, but also pragmatics seeking specific benefits and benefit will appreciate this natural gift. After all, it is possible to decorate the house with cones, and melt in the cold. And even to cook!

Cones - gracious material for creativity

So, we stock rake more cones, better than different: pine, fir, larch; If other coniferous species of trees grow in your edges, then you are just incredibly lucky. Where can I take a bump? Of course, it is best to choose them yourself - where such gifts of nature are a great set.

But if the forest is far away, or you remembered the cones, when the circle is already lying around, then their can buy. Where to looking for? In local firms selling materials for landscape design; in stores for needlewomen; in the Internet. Plugular or bags, natural or already decorated, various conifers, different sizes - if you wish, you can find almost any.

Cones like decor element

Since the first thing that can be interested in the eve of the holidays is, it is from them we will begin. I understand that pre-holiday troubles leave quite a little free time, so for the most impatient, who needs ideas urgently, a lot, different and immediately, are a small video with a selection of interesting embodiments of cones in the New Year's decoration at home.

Many of the crafts offered in this plot are simple enough, and you can easily reproduce them yourself. But on some moments, let's still stop more details - consider the nuances and the possibilities of using cones.

1. In the New Year's compositions

It's not easy, but ... very simple! We choose the most nice pine (or cedar, if there is an opportunity) cones and beautifully decompress them, combining with different New Year accessories. Here, for example, a win-win combination: needles, bumps and (spruce or pine branches add fragrance).

Warely combination: needles, cones and tangerines

Another concise option: decrease the cones on a suitable smooth surface (for example, on the shelf or on the windowsill) and complement them. If desired, you can add artificial "snow" or tinsel. Time for such a decor is needed quite a bit, and a fabulous New Year's atmosphere appears instantly - it is only worth catching up with a small light bulb. Depending on the interior and your own creative design, it is possible to use both natural, non-decorated cones, and painted, with sparkles.

The bumps are perfect for. Unlike the coniferous branches from which needles can turn, such a decor will not leave traces, and therefore it is possible not to fear that the fragments of the festive decoration will be in the salad. But if you want to use the idea as shown in the photo: Place a composition with cones a place for each guest, it is reasonable to use additional plates or saucers for this (white, in tone or contrast).

The bumps are perfect for the design of the New Year's table

As an option: Decorate linen napkins miniature compositions using cones (True, these days most prefers paper napkins, but if you are planning a New Year's reception in classical traditions, such a decor can be useful).

But the idea for decorating the rooms: a beautiful bright dish, a few spruce or pine twigs and a bump - quite just, isn't it? But putting several such uncomplicated compositions in the house, you will immediately create a festive mood. Note: In this case, the bumps, and the twigs better fixesSo that the arrangement created with love did not suffer from anyone's careless movement. You can use fine wired, for example, or floral sponge.

If you want it even easier and faster, take any beautiful container (High transparent vase, for example, or) and fill it with different cones. You can add twigs (not necessarily coniferous!). The richer and more diverse texture of cones, the more interesting the result of your creativity will look.

The richer and more diverse the texture of the cones, the more interesting the composition will be

It is very good if pine, firing, and larch, and fir bumps are in the stockbags. But if not, you can make a variety, simply painting some elements of the future composition or adding several Christmas balls. Such a basket is appropriate and under the Christmas tree, and on the fireplace shelf, and on the windowsill, and on the festive table (only in this case the balls are better replaced with fruit:, tangerines).

You can add several Christmas balls or fruits

Deliberate carelessness in such "still lifes" is welcomed - she gives them naturalness and ease. Excessive pedantry and scrupulsiness in such a matter can be associated with museum expositions, and we create a warm and cozy, living, home furnishings.

Gentle composition with angel

In general, even if someone considers your creation chaotic, too cluttered details - so do not argue about tastes! The main thing is that you give you pleasure and the process of creating a New Year's decor, and the resulting result. We will not turn the preparation for the holiday in hard work - let it please and help create a great mood!

And what can be more pleasant than choosing and with love for the closest and dear people! And then the bumps will also be by the way.

2. To decorate gifts

Natural, without additional "decorations", the bumps are perfectly combined with conventional linen twine and a lace braid of non-heated flax, a simple cardboard, wood and the like materials. The "bouquet" of cones can be fixed on the package using glue (adhesive gun).

Cones can be used to decorate gifts

If for packaging you use satin ribbons, shiny paper, color braid or decorative boxes, you can and make the cones to give the appropriate "color". If you prefer them in a natural form, make sure that the contrast of natural simplicity and "chic" is not too sharp. In such versions look good miniature compositions From cones, coniferous twigs and small Christmas tree toys - like those we saw slightly higher, in the design of table wipes.

Use for packing gifts Miniature compositions with coniferous branches and cones

You can go and other way (it is perfect for home, family holiday). Pack the gifts in a single style and make them part of a kind of big "Christmas wreath" laid out right on the floor (around the Christmas tree, by the fireplace, just in the middle of the room or where your fantasy and interior will tell). We use spruce or pine branches, tinsel, christmas toys, serpentine, bows ... and, of course, - bumps! Agree: it is much more interesting than just folded gifts under the Christmas tree.

New Year's gifts as part of the festive composition. And of course, the bumps!

By the way, part of such a decor can be small souvenirs-surprises, pleasant little things: a big candy, a fun toy, a pretty jewelry and so on ... and here I want to remember about one tradition, remembered since childhood, - maybe someone will like the idea, and you give the same fairy tale to your children ...

I have parents to the oldest new year every morning, for the Christmas tree, some small surprise (they said that the bunny ran, hello from Santa Claus passed. It could be a chocolate medal, or a small toy, or even just mandarin - the essence is not even What exactly will be found, but in the process. The joy of waiting, the effect of surprise, anticipation of the miracle ...

Under the Christmas tree always stood a fantastic beauty folding house from cardboard (someone from relatives in ancient times brought from GDR). The light bulb of the electric garlands was lowered through the hole in the roof, and when it was turned on, the light lights up in the house. Here on his threshold, I found "Greetings from Santa Claus."

Basket or wooden tray with cones, where there may be a surprise from Santa Claus

And if from children's memories to return to the subject of our today's conversation, the role of such a "house" may well take on basket or wooden tray with coneswhere it is very convenient to "randomly" to throw a surprise for a child or a loved one (well, yes, we have not had children for a long time - but don't we want to believe in miracles? And don't we like to receive unexpected gifts?)

3. To decorate candlesticks

Probably it is difficult to submit a new year and Christmas without candles. And where there are candles - should be. And from ancient times it was so it was that a "rim" for candles often becomes christmas wreath. This is not at all surprising if you remember his story (you will find it in the article). Today, the tradition for many has lost its original meaning, but the attractiveness of such a decor did not be overwhelmed over the centuries.

Cones are ideal for decorating new year candlesticks

Options There are countless. Lovers of crafts from natural materials can combine bumps with branches, closes of bright berries (or their imitation), wooden or metal Christmas decorations, as well as (cinnamon sticks, anise asterisks, mugs of dried oranges and lemons and so on). And you can do candlestick-wreath and from the cones alone - concisely, stylish, expressive.

You can even make a candlestick from the cones only

Well, the next idea can like those who have no time)) put a big candle (this is important! candle must be sustainable and "long-playing" so as not to be afraid of a fire) on a coach for a cake, or on a beautiful glass dish, or in the middle of a shallow salad bowl ... (Continue the list at your discretion). We securely fix it with molten wax and simply lay out around the bumps.

Option for those who have no time

Elements of such a decor each is free to choose to their taste, it is important only to remember the safety of the composition as a whole. The charm of her is that this improvised "candlestick" can be literally at the last minute - if only at hand everything is necessary. In pre-holiday, such simple solutions are often very helpful (by the way, if this topic is relevant for you, look in the selection).

4. As a Christmas decoration

Where in nature the bumps grow? On, ... In general, on those trees that, by tradition, serve as elements of the New Year's decor. The branches with the bumps look very beautiful, only on the little Christmas trees that settle in our homes for the holidays, the bumps do not grow yet. But who prevents it from it!

Doesn't the bumps grow on your Christmas tree? It's easy to fix!

Undoubtedly, you can hang glass or plastic counterparts. And you can - the most real, forest. Moreover, there is nothing complicated in this: we take a bump, glue and a suitable ribbon - a few minutes, and the toy is ready! To disguise the place of attachment of the loop, we glue the "on the top" of the bumps of the leaf, a decorative bow, a few beads or any other decor to taste.

This is the most simple version that is perfect for the Dacha Christmas tree. It will appreciate his and lovers of everything natural, natural. Well, if you want the tree sparkling and sparkling, so that the lights of the electric garlands repeatedly reflected in brilliant toys, simply decorate Ordinary "unspoken" cones on their taste. It is not difficult to do it, but the wonderful beauty of things are. Small master class on the manufacture of such Christmas decorations, see the following video:

The ideas of using cones as an element of decor could probably develop a very long time - because the human imagination is infinite. I recommend to still look into our publication. And we already come close to the next topic:

Cones like material for creativity and needlework

Crafts from cones and at all should be devoted to a separate publication: here the possibilities are so diverse that one review will not be able to accommodate them all at once. Therefore, today we will dwell only at the most pressing ideas and receptions. And if so far we talked mainly about the use of cones in their pristine, natural form, then it's time to discuss possible options for the transformation of forest gifts.

How to paint bumps

If, in accordance with the creative intent, we need colored details, we can paint each bump in advance separately or apply paint when the product is already ready. We can use various types of paints, as well as sequins, artificial "snow", small beads, sequins, and so on. We can apply for paint a piece of foam rubber, a brush or an aerosol can ...

How to choose, and what option is better? Better always the one that suits you. We choose according to different criteria: for the price and availability of materials; on technology that likes more; Upon the necessary number of workpieces (paint a manual with a brush, a whole bag of cones will not everyone wants) and so on. 3 simple ways of painting cones The following is presented in the following very short, but visual video - and perhaps they will be enough for all cases.

So we have become a bit of wizards: they learned to turn ordinary cones to "golden", "silver", sprinkle them with "snow", which does not melt ... It's time to move to more complex tasks.

This time we will bypass the fabulously fascinating theme of children - it deserves a separate discussion. But we will consider the crafts currently currently currently.

1. Christmas wreath from cones and with bumps

We have already spoken about this traditional decoration: - I will not repeat. But some nuances clarify. For example, how can you fix the bumps.

If you make a wreath based on a vine, cardboard, foam and other similar materials, use the adhesive gun and just get bumps Where they should be located in accordance with your design. This method is used most often, but it is not the only one. Detailed master class will teach "Splits" from cones and wire - And of them, you already melt what they conceived: Wreath, garland or other decoration.

The cones can be combined with other natural materials. And paint if you want

What cones to use for a wreath than and how to paint them (and whether to paint at all) - to solve you. Just consider: if the craft is used drointent materials (coniferous branches and satin ribbons, christmas toys and tinsel, bumps and berries and so on), then it is better to engage in the color of individual fragments before the final assembly. If the composition is more or less uniform In terms of composition, it is possible to tint it entirely with the help of spray, and then the tassel put the necessary accents.

How to make a wreath of cones based on a jerk rod or wire, see the next master class. Here you will see how you can still paint them:

We already had a selection of wonderful ideas ,. But there is no such option among the proposed, so it is a little more details.

From the cones, you can even make a Christmas tree, and not one

• Method 1

Cut from dense cardboard a circle of arbitrary diameter - it will be the basis of our Christmas tree ( prompt: It is not worthwhile immediately at a large craft - do it first on small). On the edge, we carefully glue the biggest cones, setting them "on the bar" so that the macushkin looks out, it will be the first row of the Christmas tree ( prompt: So that the row leaves smooth, it is worth the first to pick up the cones in size and only then glue).

The second row is glued to the first, slightly reducing the diameter of the circle (as a result, we must have a cone-pyramid from several rows of cones). Similarly, we do the third, the fourth - to the master's most. The construction is crowned, of course, the most beautiful cone of a suitable size))

• Method 2

It will be more difficult to describe it - and it does not need it, because there is a detailed master class. Just see how else you can make a Christmas tree from the cones:

3. "Miracle tree" from twigs and cones

For such a craft, we will need, except for cones, durable twigs, thin wire, transparent glass or vase, decor - to taste. The bumps make up at its discretion: they can be monophonic (for example, golden, as in the photo), or "snow-covered", or fantasy, motley.

Further everything is simple. With the help of the secret, we give the branches the desired shape, removing unnecessary shoots and shortening too long. On a thin wire, suspended the cones, complementing them at the request of other decorative elements (just do not get carried away - the decor should be moderately, otherwise the composition will be overloaded with parts and lose lightness, airiness).

We put the branches in the vase, fasten the segments of the wire with cones on them (from afar there should be an impression that the bumps soak in the air). Several pieces add to the vase; This is not only a decorative, but also a purely practical element: thanks to him, the branches are fixed in the position we need. That's all! It remains to find a suitable place in the interior for your masterpiece.

Of course, you do not put water in such a vase, you won't put live flowers. But for it will fit perfectly. And you can also use it as a kashpo: pick up the tank of suitable size and put inside the vase. Now you can pour water, and the living flowers put.

The technology of manufacturing a vase is similar to that used when creating a Christmas tree of cones (Method 1). Variating the diameter of each next row and their number, you can make the vessels of various shapes - from a wide "bowl" to a high "glass". At first, the task may seem not easy, there is a workout business. You only need patience and accuracy - and everything will turn out!

Yes, by the way: if you have an old, unnecessary sudine, which for some kind of considerations it was a pity to throw out, now you know how give her second life: Start the outside of the bumps - and instead of the rubble, the original interior object will appear in the country.

Cones for ... jam

Those who have children will certainly remember the cartoon about Masha and the Bear - there in one of the series Masha cooks jam from everything that will be touched by hand. There are among her creations and "cishetic" jam. And who would have thought that it really exists!

Jam from cones exists not only in the cartoon

Moreover, it is not just a billet for the winter, sweet to tea. This is also I. medicine from different pigeons: They are treated with an angina and bronchitis, flu, and even asthma; It strengthens the gums and increases the level of hemoglobin. Well, how not to cook it!

Pine cones jam

The cones need young for him - still green (they usually happen such in the late spring - early summer, not later). It is clear that, like any natural raw material, do not collect them along the automotive tracks and the railway canvase, next to the industrial enterprises and even just within the city - otherwise it is not possible to see any benefit from jam.

For jam, you need young bumps - more green

• Method 1

We take in equal parts (by volume) cones, water and sugar sand. Corses are swore, clean from the nagworn garbage and rinse. The water is brought to a boil in a pelvis or a large saucepan; Pour sugar boiling water, stir until it is completely dissolved. Then we pour the prepared cones into the syrup and bring to boil again.

Boiling 5 minutes, turn off, cover the pelvic with a towel and leave to push. Then you repeat the cycle even twice: we bring to a boil, we cook 5 minutes, turn off, cool. For the third time, turning off, we decide the hot jam on sterilized banks, we roll, we bite and leave until it cools completely (about a day).

• Method 2

We cook bumps, as in the previous recipe, pour them into an enameled pelvis and fill with cold water (so that the water of centimeter is on the bumps on the bumps). Water pour not "on the eyes", and a measuring number - it will be necessary for us to determine how much sugar is needed (on a liter of water - kilogram of sugar sand).

Taz with bumps put on fire, bring to a boil and fall asleep sugar. Mix well so that sugar is dissolved, and cook 1.5 hours on slow heat, periodically removing the foam.

Shrink

As in the case of pine cones, the raw materials will serve us collected in the "right" places young cones with soft, gentle scales. And there are several cooking options here too.

Young spruce bumps are also suitable for jam

• Method 1

For 1 kg of cones, we take 1 kg of sugar and 2 liters of water. Severed, purified and well-washed bumps poured with cold water and leave it for a day, after which we drain the water. Then we prepare sugar syrup and lower the painted bumps into it. Cook on slow heat, while the bumps are not confused; Periodically stirring and removing the resulting foam. Ready jams are expanding into sterilized banks and store in the refrigerator (cellar).

• Method 2

Per 1 kg of cones - 3 liters of water, 1.5 kg of sugar and 1 h. Support of lemon juice. The prepared bumps are cut along in half, fill with water, bring to a boil and boil on slow heat for about 4 hours (as long as the amount of fluid decreases by about a third). Then the liquid merge, strain. Thrink bumps, and add sugar and half of lemon juice to the decoction. Welcome to the consistency of honey, adding the remaining lemon juice at the end of the cooking. Hot "Honey" Pour from sterilized cans, roll and flip on the covers for cooling.

Cones like feed for forest animals and birds

Every schoolboy knows: in the winter forest inhabitants there are tight. The snow removes food, and the wild beast and birds begin to suit closer to human housing. The cones collected by us and here they can serve a good service - serve source for protein and feathery guests.

One of the brightest memories of my childhood - as my parents fed protein in Pavlovsk parks. With hands, cedar nuts. And even in our edges, the cedar - rarity, so because the protein, freely walking among the houses, not much. And if these animals are inhabited next to your cottage, make them a gift - buy a pair of cedar cones and hang out there where the animal is free and without feet will be able to get to them. You will be photographically rewarded, watching how fluffy sympathet is cleverly spreads with treats - this scene causes lunizing and delight and in children, and in adults.

Birds from treats will not refuse

Birds from treatments either will not refuse. Big fans of coniferous seeds - klezty and dyatla, do not happen them and cinecraft. Note that the habits of birds are different. For example, the woodpecker "separates" the bump by fixing it in the crevice of some kind of stump, a small dupe or for a fork. Perhaps in the forest you had to meet such "forge". The cinema will easily manage with a suspended shishkoy, but, unlike the blast, it will be difficult to extract seeds from under closed scales.

Another important nuance: since the birds and proteins feed on seedsAnd not the husks at all, the bumps for them need to be harvested not all sorts. Old - empty, with riming scales - will not please anyone and do not feed. When stored in heat, the bumps dry out, and the seeds of them can be saturated, so the delicacy for woods is better to store somewhere in the shed - in the cold.

The treats are suspended on the trees, lay out in the feeders - it all depends on what guests you are waiting for. At the same time, of course, do not forget about the safety of feathers: there, where their dining room is arranged, no cat should get. Will help if necessary, decide on the most successful option of this structure.

Cones like an extract for a furnace or fireplace

We have repeatedly spoke about firewood (relevant for winter pore the topic!): Articles and will help to solve the issue of choosing a fuel suitable for your hearth. But the majority know how difficult it is sometimes silent the firewood in the fireplace or the stove. Even if they are dry and folded in all the rules.

Bumps - good extroduction for a furnace or fireplace

And this grief is able to help the bumps. Dry and resinous, they flash very quickly - what we need, in fact. And if you keep the stock of cones in a beautiful bucket or box by the fireplace (stove), then they are also decorate the country interior. True, they have one disadvantage - The same as in wood coniferous wood: they form a sage raid and soot on the walls of the chimney and the crop of the furnace or fireplace.

Cones in a bucket with christmas decor

Yes, here's another ... now the fashion is returned to the vintage samovara. Tea party in the garden, with jam or honey ... just a fairy tale! But to pull the samovar is also the best pine cones. "Bonus" get an easy and pleasant fragrance that coniferous smoke will give tea.

And also ...

Cones can be; They are used as mulch; on nuts from cedar cones turns out completely wonderful tincture - Fragrant and damaging, like a resin ... Of course, we looked at far from all ways to use a wonderful forest gift - within one article it would be impossible. But we can always return to the topic, isn't it? Today I'm going to make a fairy tale at home for my granddaughter. This is the first new year when he began to understand something and to see it.
Decorative cones - perfectly suitable for design.
For this we need:
Gouache
Any nail polishes
Fantasy
Shishki.
Artificial snow or salt
Several tassel


We produce materials themselves: we go to the forest and with good thoughts we find beautiful, closed bumps. After we have collected them, you need to cook them (not in order to take them to dinner, and in order to kill all microbes).

Cooking you need 20-30 minutes, give them cool. You can put on the battery or come up with other methods so that they quickly dry and beautifully revealed. After drying, they will open beautifully and finally remind us of a real kind of cones, which we always imagine!

But it is not necessary to paint everything, but in stages. At the first stage, paints are paints (in one or more colors). If you are painting in a few colors, we advise you to pauses between paintings so that the freshly mounted paint absorb and dried. On average, the gouache completely dries in 5-10 minutes.

In the second stage, you can already paint with varnishes, sparkles and any other "shiny" - it's very simple and painted a couple of minutes. Do not forget to buy in the store dry artificial snow, but if you feel sorry for money or all stores are already closed, then replace the snow - the effect is the same!

Interesting use ideas:

Option 2

Decoration cones for the new year

With your own hands, you can make a wonderful Christmas decoration (and then a small gift-souvenir!) To the new year.

To work, we will need: Golden or silver paint (acrylic or gouache, and it can approach and just nail polish with sparkles), a large thin wire, a ribbon and a brilliant rope (although it can be painted and just a thick thread).

1. We will select a suitable cute bump.

2. We apply the tassel to the outer surface of the cone (you can also on the inner, but it is optional). I took a golden acrylic paint. Here is such a golden shishchka:

3. Now we will have a wire and - we will make a kind of garland (see photo). The garland is made on the same wire, and its length depends on the size of the bump (the largest bump, the longer garland).

4. Spin the garland around the bump.

5. Bind the rope (so that you are hanging) and the ribbon (so that it is beautiful).

My bump turned out to be golden with red, but you can make it silver with white or blue, and even use any combination of colors - there are no restrictions for your imagination!

Examples of registration

Gilded bumps. To paint a bump in a gold or silver color, you will need a spray paint spray, which can be bought at any store for creativity. Of these cones and small Christmas balls in a glass vase, a pretty composition is obtained for a coffee table or mirror in the hallway.

Mini-tree. Pine bump easily turns into a miniature Christmas tree, if you "hang" small beads-balls, cut from felt (of course, they will have to plant them). Such Christmas trees can be "land" on the festive table, and then hand out to friends as a memorable New Year souvenir.

Figurines. The best idea for New Year's leisure with children: remember the kindergarten skills - turn cones, acorns and sprigs in dogs, woods and bunnies.

Candlesticks. In the glass candlestick, you can put small cones, nuts or acorns and put a large candle in the center.

New Year's suspension. No comments.

Basket of cones. Very spectacularly wicker basket, filled with cones. And if you still decorate it with a glowing christmas garland - the basket will be just magic!

Packaging gifts. The bump will easily replace the festive bow and create a winter mood.

New Year's composition. To create such a decorative group, you will need only fantasy: combine candles, bumps, fir and pine branches, New Year's balls and tangerines. So that the composition pleased the eye and raised the mood. Just be careful with fire: it is best to put candles and bumps on a flat dish.
