Candy Cones Tutorial by Andrea Amu
One day while I was glancing at some pine cones that the daycare children at my work painted, I got an insane idea to paint up some cones of my own to look like candy corn! Thus, the creation of Candy Cones!

Here I first gathered my supplies.
Then I got to work painting 3 different pinecones each with sections of white, orange and yellow acrylic craft paint.
Allow each cone to fully dry.
Apply a heavy coat of spray adhesive to each cone. (Work on one cone at a time until each is completely finished with next step of glittering).
You'll want to make these cones look as sweet as candy... sugar them up with some glitter! I used plenty of Diamond Dust glitter by FloraCraft for these cones.
Now you will need a fabulous container to display these festive cones. I chose to use a wood berry basket from Curtsey Boutique! I've embellished mine with a strip of tied on burlap and I've hot glued on two Curtsey Boutique flowers and a burlap star.
I've also taken a strip of Curtsey Boutique's kraft masking tape and I've stamped Antique lettering on it with the words, "Candy Cones!". Apply the strip to a burlap tag and tie off onto the basket to complete.
Looking sweet!
