Place your pine cone on a large paper plate, so you have a great working surface that you can easily clean afterwards.
Squeeze a nice layer of puffy paint {in squiggles and swirls} all over the pine cone. The more paint you add the better it is, so lay it on thick and make it POP!
Once the above step is completed, follow that up by sprinkling a good amount of loose craft glitter all over the wet puffy paint you just put down.
Now add some small pom poms in between the empty spaces to create the "bulbs" on the tree.
At this point in time, you can also add any other embellishments you like as well {I added some foam star cutouts to the top of mine!}
When done decorating the pine cones, let your "trees" dry completely before removing from paper plate.
