Bleach Look Pinecones without Bleach
This easy tutorial shows you how to get the look of bleached pinecones without working with bleach.
Materials
- Pine cones
- White chalk paint
- Brown craft pain
- Deep plastic container
Instructions
- In a large plastic container combine one part white chalk paint with 2 parts water. Add some brown craft paint to soften the white as desired.
- Dip each pinecone into the water/paint solution.
- Dry on paper towels slightly and repeat with a second or third coat of paint if desired.
Notes
You will need a plastic container large enough to dunk the largest pinecone that you are working with. If your pinecones are all small then you can use a smaller container.
You can play around with the ratio of paint to water to create more opaque-looking pinecones.
