- In the first step, the pine cones are painted with white paint. You can use white craft paint or acrylic varnish for this. You can get both in the craft store or in the hardware store. The painted cones must now dry very well.
- When the white paint is dry, dab the tips of the pine cones all around with red paint. Of course, you can also paint the tips with a different color to match your other Christmas tree decorations.
- It is best to let the painted cones dry overnight.

- The next day, the cones are painted with clear varnish and sealed. Use either spray paint or a clear coat that you apply with a brush.
- If you have painted a cone, sprinkle some gold glitter on each pine cone that is still damp. Now you can almost finish it pendant dry very well again.
- Finally, the tree trailers only have to be provided with a loop for hanging. To do this, cut suitable pieces from thin red cord and knot the ends so that a loop is created.
- Heat the hot glue and use it to attach the loop to the top of the pinecone. When the hot glue is dry, the tags are ready.
