Hi Monday Friends… I’ve got a cute project to share with you guys today.
Epsom salt pine cones… These were easy to make and are adorable.
My youngest daughter helped me brush on the modge podge and then we sprinkled epsom salt all over the pine cones.
A great craft to do with your little ones.
I cut strips of burlap and hot glued them to the base of the pine cone.
Then I gathered some together to create a cute cluster to hang in our bathroom.
A little snowy goodness for the bathroom. The rest are going on the mantel (stay tuned)…

This is an easy sweet project. The effect is beautiful and really looks like snowy crystals! Love the background color with those pinecones!
Thanks Yvonne!
Yep, this is awesome!!
I’ve seen a lot of projects made with Epsom salt and was wondering if the crystals shed? Also would they damage the floor or furniture if they fell off. The pine cones look really pretty and I really want to try this.
Dorothy F ~ I gave them a gentle shake to remove the excess salt that might be stuck between. I have no idea on the damage issue. I guess it’s possible. I’d happily tear out all my flooring tomorrow, so it wasn’t on my mind. I put epsom salt on plastic Easter eggs a few years ago and when I pull them out of storage the salt is still intact, so it seems to help well.
Those are so super cute! I have this big bag of Epsom salt and now I think my daughter and I will be Mod Podging and Epsom salting everything … starting with some pine cones for the bathroom. I, liked the bazillion of others, will be pinning!

Thanks Linda ~ I told my girls to keep their eyes open for pine cones… I am just LOVING this look!
That’s a really cute idea, and it looks so simple. I have to try it!
Thanks Mrs. Match!
I’ve never visited your blog, but I saw your pic on Pinterest. I really like how you’ve hung yours with the burlap strips. I’ve been painting and glitterizing pine cones today. It seems that this is the year of the pine cone!
I totally agree Jane! I’m crushing on pine cones this year. Glad you stopped by!
I love this idea! Hope you don’t mind if I make some of these adorable ornaments for my tree. I am doing a rustic, country theme this year and these would be perfect
Of course not, I’m flattered Taunnie!
I love the sparkling elegance of the epsom salts on the natural tones of the pinecones. Beautiful!
Maryann, wishing you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!
