talie Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hi! I was just reading the thread on dipping pine cones and someone mentioned that you could just make them scented instead of dipping them? I believe I read somewhere that you could just put a few pine cones in a ziplock bag with a few drops of fragrance oil and after a few short days the pine cones would absorb the smell? Is this right? Has anyone actually done it this way?Oh and sorry if this question has been asked before. I try to come on this site often ... but well.... I don't get the chance with kids.. work.. husband.. house... pets... you get my point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammafransfixins Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 You can scent the pine cones very easily!! Put them in a container...not a baggie. Oils eat most baggies.I use a bottle with a a sprayer on it to make sure the oil gets all over the cones. Spray them...close the lid and let sit for a few days. Open...smell..spray a bit more...etc. Keep doing that till you have the desired smell. Make sure they are not wet when packaging. If they are to wet, leave the lid off for a few days before you package them.Ever walk into Walmart back by the fabric area and get knocked in the face with those cinnamon pine cones! That is what mine smell like..but way stronger!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talie Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 Wow, thanks! I can't wait to try it. One more question. The fragrance you use, is it the same stuff that you use to make candles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grammafransfixins Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I use my candle oils full strenght when scenting my fixins, cones, potporri and such. That is why I said not in a baggy..the pure fo will eat that... LOLHave fun Do two batches..each a different scent and then mix the cones... Yummy!!
