{one comment}

Posted in: Crafts, Home DecorNovember 24, 2009



Fill the house with scents of the season! Grab up rustic pine cones from outside and fill your home with the smell of cinnamon shown off in a festive decoration to last though the holidays! Follow the how-to tutorial below to make your own from Blisstree.com

  • 24 small (2×2 inch) pine cones
  • 2 ounces or ¼ cup of Frankencense powder
  • 4 ounces or ½ cup of Myrrh powder
  • 1 ¼ cups of gold glitter
  • White craft glue
  • Cellophane bags
  • A shallow container such as a shoe box

1. Rinse the pine cones in water and place on a cookie sheet. Place the cones in a 300 degree oven for one hour to speed up the drying. Then place them aside on some newspaper to finish drying.

2. Blend the frankincense, myrrh and glitter together in shoe box. Dab some glue on the tips of the pine cones petals and on the bottom of the cone. Roll the pine cones in the blended mixture and set aside to dry.

3. After drying you can place the pine cones in open glass containers or package in the cellophane bags to give as gifts. The scent of the cones is powerfully release when they are burned. Toss a few of the cones into your fireplace when lit for a pleasant smell. If you decide not to burn them, you can still enjoy the aromatic scent just being in the same room.

4. You can also make scented pinecones by using fragrance oils. Take the same steps to wash and dry the pine cones.

5. Place water and several drops of fragrance oil in a spray bottle and spray the cones. Seal the pine cones in a bag and let the sit for about a week. Some great fragrance oils to use are apple, cinnamon, orange, peppermint, nutmeg and pine.

    Oh Wow! I didn’t even think about making these homemade! It was a dress that I was wearing. They have a bunch of dresses right now at Target, and they usually always have my size. Have a great day!
