This is a fast and easy way to paint pinecones for FREE Christmas and Winter decor. Finding cute ways to decorate your home for Christmas doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune…

How to paint pinecones for free Christmas and Winter decor

When you’re looking for ways to save money over the holidays, you’ll need to get creative and think outside the box to get the look you want – for pennies on the dollar vs. what you’d spend in the decorating department of any store.

This year, I decided to take some large pinecones I’d gotten from my Momma and paint them white. Since I painted my dining room black this Fall, I knew I’d want to keep all my decor (Christmas or otherwise) light colored and neutral.

I already painted white Christmas trees here and I have one of them sitting pretty in my black room.

Now, for the white pinecones.

Set up is fast and easy

Thanks to thisΒ small spray shelter and my Super Finish Max from HomeRight, this project was a piece of cake. I love that the shelter quite literally pops up on it’s own after I take it out from the storage bag. It makes me giggle every time. πŸ˜€

I laid down a drop cloth, placed the shelter on top, then laid the pinecones on the floor of the shelter.

DIYer Note: the Super Finish Max is pretty powerful, so the pinecones moved around a bit in the shelter, but it actually ended up helping me because I didn’t have to flip them over – they turned by themselves! πŸ˜‰ Score!

This went so fast, it was laughable. I LOVE speedy projects!

The pinecones dried while I ran to pick up the kids from school and by the time I returned, they were ready for hanging.

They now grace my huge thrifted chalkboard in our dining room.

I kept it simple again, just like my neutral Christmas living room. White cotton twine was perfect for hanging! Small push pins on the back of the frame hold the twine/pinecones right where I want them.

See the fluffy pom poms in the large platter on the bottom shelf? So fun!! You can see how I made them here. πŸ˜‰

This year I’ve vowed to keep the holidays simple. Keep them sane. And I wish the same for you, sweet friend.

Bring the joy. Be the light.

Warmest wishes from my family to yours!

    These look great hanging on your chalkboard. I got out my pinecones from last year with every intention to doll them up this year but it never happened. I decided not to stress about it and just enjoy the season. I hope your Christmas morning with your boys is a beautiful one!
