Decorating with Pine Cones

By Tedebear (Guest Post)

Hi Barbara,

If you drip some candle wax on them, they really dress up the pine cone. (Glitter doesn't hurt either!)

There is a very important caution that you need to heed. I used pine cones several years ago for a Christmas decoration for my coffee table. I found little worms all over the table. Come to find out, they were in the pine cones.

Be SURE to freeze the pine cones for awhile before using them. It sure made a big difference to me.

Dear Barbara, I have been using bowls of pinecones around my house for years. I always add a few drops of essential oil and it makes such an inexpensive room freshener. Ever since I got my dog and take him for long walks every morning, I have been finding wonderful things in natural that I bring home! Thank you for sharing with us, Lisa

I am going to be using them to make candle rings for votives, my hubby and I are renewing our vows this year after 15 years and I'm trying to make my decorations out of items I find outside since we are going with a fall theme
