Each pinecone comes with a white mesh string loop to make it that much easier to add to your decorations. At 45mm x 45mm x 11cm, these little beauties have enough sparkle but won't overpower the rest of your ornaments. The colour palette of blue and silver fits perfectly with most decorations - it goes with gold, red, green and everything in between. The glitter is hand brushed and yes, it is normal to see some excess fall off during the first use - a tip from us, use a small soft brush to get rid off excess. Trust us when we say these faux pinecones bring Christmas magic alive!
