Step-by-step

Step 1
Make sure you have all the materials you need before starting. Remove any dirt or loose bits from the cones beforehand to ensure even coverage.

Step 2
Start by covering your working surface completely with the protective sheet. You can now start spraying in mild mint. For best colour results, we recommend you hold the can at a distance of about 25 cm and spray with a spiral motion. In our Spray 1x1 section, we offer useful tips on how to achieve perfect results.

Step 3
Wait approx. 30 mins until the paint is completely dry before you start spraying the next colour. Using rose gold, spray the upper half of the pine cone. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly, then attach a length of wire to the cone and fix it to the gift or whatever you wish to decorate.
