Well, it is almost Memorial Day weekend here. I am not sure about you, but time is seriously flying by here. Especially with the current state of affairs. I literally feel like each day is Groundhog’s Day all over again. But still somehow we are at the start of the unofficial summer in only a few short days.
With summer and Memorial Day always would come patriotic celebrations now and later with the 4th of July and Labor Day, as well. So, red, white, and blue is front and center this time of the year now more than ever.
Most know I am big on making themed foods for all sorts of celebrations. See we have our favorite desserts for patriotic times, such as here and here. Plus, we even enjoy this patriotic dip here, too.
But you know how much I also love to decorate. The floral decor is a must for spring and summer, such as here. Plus with decorating my home with flowers, I couldn’t resist making a patriotic floral centerpiece.
All the items I used can be easily purchased using Amazon Prime. Let’s face online shopping is truly a godsend now more than ever. Moreover, this floral patriotic decor is fairly easy to make and is the perfect patriotic decorating addition to any home.
So, what to make a Patriotic Pinecone Floral DIY Decor centerpiece to decorate your home for all your patriotic celebrations?

Materials
Instructions
STEP 1: With your wire cutter or shears, cut the pointy end of your pinecone about 3 layers. You can cut even more layers if you want different sizes. If you have a flat-based pinecone you can move on to the next step. However, if it isn’t, then cut out the centerpiece leaving a flat interior. 
STEP 2: Now it’s time to paint your flower. Spray paints are a lot faster, but be sure that you are using them in a well-ventilated area and that you’re protecting surfaces. If you’d prefer to use acrylic paint and paint palettes, then you can also do that. Paint your pinecones with the red, white, and blue paint and dry according to the directions on the can. 
STEP 3: Once dried, get your yellow paint and palette and paint the stamens or disk florets (the middle of the flower) and set aside once again to dry. 
STEP 4: Once the paint on your pinecone has completely dried, turn your pinecone over, and with your glue gun add a generous amount of glue to the bottom/center of your pinecone. 
STEP 5: Place a skewer into the glue and hold for about 2-3 minutes until the glue completely dries. 
STEP 6: Your pinecone is now complete. Simply add them to a vase and use it as decor.
Now that you learned how to make your very own Patriotic Pinecone Floral DIY Decor Centerpiece, I hope you have fun making it for your own home.
