CountryTartMama Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 We have been collecting pinecones since this summer with hopes of scenting them. Here it is Dec and i just plain ole for got about them. I dont want to wax dip them nor do i have a fire place. Can i spray them with room spray or something similar to have them smell like the cinnamon ones at like lows, walmart ect? Im not sure if they just use a FO or what. I want to stick them in a basket or 2 around my house. Thanks =0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help with the pine cones but sounds like a good ideal. Maybe put a bunch of FO on them and then seal in a large jar for a week . Or a container of some sort till they absorb the oil.

chiptooth Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 I paint my pinecones with watered down elmers glue, sometimes I even dip the pincecones in the glue then sprinkle them with real cinnamon and then put a few squirts of cinnamon fragrance oil in them, right at the edge of the "leaf" near the core of the pinecone. Then bake them at 250 for about 8 minutes or until the cinnamon looks sort of baked on. I've done this with pumpkin and autumn spice as well.

Stella1952 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 This was The Year I was going to make scented pinecones and firestarters. I have lots of pine trees so no problem obtaining pinecones. It has been raining almost nonstop for a month. I don't think this will be the year after all... :undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
