Foraged native flora - pine cones or banksias

Instructions
Head out for a walk with the kids and forage for some pine cones or banksias.
Once home, cover a flat surface with an old towel or cardboard.
Squeeze out some paint on the cardboard or a painting palette and wet your paint brush.
Paint your natives any colour you want! You can add glitter or small pom poms !
Wrap some twine around the middle of the pine cone and tie a double knot. Leave some length to create a loop so that you can hang it on a branch.
Have fun and enjoy creating something magical to put on your tree!
