Cheap and easy!

Every year for Christmas I bake! The tons of goodies I make for Christmas are wrapped and delivered to close friends! Except this year. This year I made mini center pieces. They are small and cute and easy!

All you need is:
Glue gun
Glue
Pinecones from your yard or your grandmas
Pieces of ribbon
Tinsel
A couple of flower bushels from the dollar store (poinsettias work beat for the Christmas season)
Small glittery ornaments
And whatever you see that appeases your holiday style
And cinnamon

Glue the pine cones together as well as possible trying to hide the glue as much as possible. If you have good glue you won't have to worry about the ornament or piece falling apart.
Decorate to taste and voila!

If you sprinkle the pinecones with cinnamon prior to decorating you will get that wintery smell.

Cost per piece is about $1. And worth all the compliments and smiles from your friends!

Enjoy!!!
