How to make cinnamon scented pine cones? Making cinnamon-scented pine cones is a fun and easy DIY project that can add a festive touch to your home. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make them:
Materials Needed:- Pine cones
- Ground cinnamon or cinnamon essential oil
- White glue or spray adhesive
- A large plastic bag or airtight container
- A small paintbrush (if using glue)
- Optional: Ribbon or string for hanging
Instructions:
Gather Pine Cones:- Collect pine cones from outside or purchase them from a craft store.
- If you collect them outside, you might want to clean and dry them to remove any dirt or insects. Place them on a baking sheet and bake them at 200°F (93°C) for about 30 minutes to ensure they are clean and dry.
Prepare the Adhesive:- If using white glue, dilute it slightly with water so it can be easily brushed onto the pine cones.
- If using spray adhesive, ensure you have a well-ventilated area to work in.
Apply the Adhesive:- Using the paintbrush, coat the pine cones evenly with the diluted glue.
- If using spray adhesive, spray a light, even coat over the pine cones.
Add the Cinnamon:- Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the glued pine cones. Be generous with the cinnamon to ensure a strong scent.
- Alternatively, if using cinnamon essential oil, add a few drops to the glue before applying it, or add drops directly onto the pine cones after the adhesive has been applied.
Dry the Pine Cones:- Place the cinnamon-coated pine cones on a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper and let them dry completely. This could take several hours to overnight, depending on the type of adhesive used.
Seal in the Scent:- Once the pine cones are dry, place them in a large plastic bag or airtight container. Add a few more drops of cinnamon essential oil to the bag or container if you want a stronger scent.
- Seal the bag or container and let the pine cones sit for 1-2 weeks. This will help the scent permeate the pine cones thoroughly.
Display or Use:- After 1-2 weeks, remove the pine cones from the bag or container. They should now have a pleasant cinnamon scent.
- Optionally, you can tie ribbons or string around the tops of the pine cones to hang them as decorations.
Tips:- If you prefer a less messy method, you can skip the adhesive and simply place the pine cones in a bag with several drops of cinnamon essential oil. Shake the bag well and let it sit for a few days to a week.
- Refresh the scent as needed by adding a few more drops of cinnamon essential oil to the pine cones.
