A Pine Cone Garland

The holidays are fast approaching, and I must admit that I am not ready.  I need to decorate!  I came across this great pine cone garland and instructions on how to make it at Twig and Thistle.

 Since I have some large pines in the yard, I am heading out right now to gather some for my mantle!  I may spray mine with a little silver paint for a touch of glimmer.  Our living room is a tad dark and I think that shimmer may brighten things up and add a touch of holiday magic!
